Is it possible to send events from a third party system into the milestone VMS system? Is this done via the API? if so do you have the documentation that has an example of this?

RestAPI is currently only for working with configuration. (In future versions Milestone will extend the RestAPI functionality).

I thought that RestAPI does work for event triggers? https://github.com/milestonesys/mipsdk-samples-protocol/blob/main/EventsRestApiPython/events_rest_api.py
