To run the application you should execute: java -jar hikvision-user-management-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar in your terminal (CMD)

The logic of the app

1. The app takes a default webcam from the machine where it's running
2. When the user preses a button the application does the following:
   • Takes screenshot from webcam
   • Tries to find all users in HikVision, sort them and finds the latest user (with maximum employee number)
   • Creates a user with max employee number + 6 code
   • Uploads the photo from webcam
3. The app can show an error when:
   • HikVision does not recognize face on the image - the user has to try again
   • Some unexpected error (network issue, bug in application, etc)

The app logs everything in file /logs/hikvision-user-management.log, this file is mandatory for issue investigation
