AngelCam location API

Endpoints for accessing and managing locations. Locations are used to organize cameras into groups. Every camera belongs to exactly one location, and every user has a root location whose ID is available from the [Current User Info](#tag/user) endpoint. Locations can be **armed** or **disarmed**. When a location is armed, Real Time Security (RTS) will generate notifications for events on cameras in that location. Each location supports scheduled arming/disarming so notifications can be active only during certain hours. > **Note:** Creating, editing, and deleting locations is currently only possible through the [My Angelcam](https://my.angelcam.com/) web UI. These API endpoints provide read access only.
