function Get-VerkadaHelixEvent{
    <#
        .SYNOPSIS
        Gets a specific Helix event using https://apidocs.verkada.com/reference/getvideotaggingeventviewv1

        .DESCRIPTION
        This method can be used to retrieve a Helix Event that has already been posted to Command. In the return message, the users will be able to see the corresponding attribute values for that unique event. To successfully retrieve a Helix Event, users will need to input the associated Camera ID, API Token with Helix permissions, Event Type UID, and the exact event epoch time in milliseconds.
        The reqired token can be directly submitted as a parameter, but is much easier to use Connect-Verkada to cache this information ahead of time and for subsequent commands.

        .EXAMPLE
        Get-VerkadaHelixEvent -camera_id 6b8731d7-d991-4206-ba71-b5446fa617fc -event_type_uid cf918b16-26cd-4c01-a672-5a91b79311e1 -timeStamp '1/1/2025 08:35:00 -06'
        This will get the helix event for Jan 1, 2025 at 8:35 AM CST for the sepcified camera, and event ID. The token will be populated from the cache created by Connect-Verkada.

        .EXAMPLE
        Get-VerkadaHelixEvent -camera_id 6b8731d7-d991-4206-ba71-b5446fa617fc -event_type_uid cf918b16-26cd-4c01-a672-5a91b79311e1 -timeStamp '1/1/2025 08:35:00 -06' -x_verkada_auth_api 'sd78ds-uuid-of-verkada-token'
        This will get the helix event for Jan 1, 2025 at 8:35 AM CST for the sepcified camera, and event ID. The token is submitted as a parameter in the call.
