Alert Stream: enable expert mode

[erudita]

Hi mezz64,
First of all thanks for the work on this module.

I use it primarily as a binary sensor in home assistant, and see a use for creating (optionally) multiple motion sensors per camera if the configuration is set to "expert mode".

I believe the starting point to validate the camera capability using the /ISAPI/System/Video/inputs/channels/1/motionDetectionExt call to get marker XML <activeMode>expert</activeMode>
adding to the API for "extended motion".

Do you see value in investigating this path?

Regards

It could be a worthwhile addition. I'll need to play with the expert mode on my own cams to make sure I can debug locally. Not sure when i'll have time to get to it, but i'll leave this issue open as a reminder.

Ok, thanks. Time is always the enemy!
Let me know if you would like any assistance. I have written some routines consistent with PyHik which grab the data.

I'm always open to PR's. Feel free to submit one with your changes and i'll make some time to review it.
