Get ANPR events from cameras:

• Get and save ANPR events
• Rest API to get events
• Ability to turn on/off LPR collection per device/camera.
• UI: show events:
  • in a separate tab
  • on live or playback
• Sync to Cloud

Add support for the following camera vendors:

• Milesight via webhooks (Get ANPR events from Milesight camera #303)

@marcoherbst for Milesight I know they support sending ANPR records through onvif metadata. I'll check Axis (do we use Axis for ANPR) and do we have Axis cameras ?

I found the Events API for OnVIF very painful to understand and/or use. Of course if someone shows me a working reliable implementation I'll be delighted...but the whole thing just seemed amazingly opaque. The best I got from the Milesight camera was an endless series of "Initialized" events and no mechanism to "seek" back to older data.

I have written this issue for Milesight ANPR: https://github.com/evercam/evercam-backend/issues/5524

@gBillal , if I understand correctly, we are now able to receive WEBHOOK ANPR events from Milesight & Axis cameras and that this is exposed here:

https://evercam.github.io/ex_nvr/#/Event/getLPREvents

Would you agree that these Endpoints are now ready for use by the Evercam team? I guess the cameras need to be configured to use the Webhooks? Or , is there additional work required?
