Add incident policy

As a Kisi admin, you can set up incident policies to monitor specific conditions, receive real-time notifications, and enable proactive responses, ensuring swift action and review of security events. Currently, you can choose from the following incident policy types:

• Door Held Open: Receive alerts when a door remains open beyond a specified time. Notifications will continue at set intervals until the door is closed, ensuring that any potential security issues are addressed promptly.
• Impossible Travel: Get notified when access events occur in locations that are geographically too distant to be realistically covered by the same user within the given timeframe.
