Two notes:
1. You only need to install the contrib package of OpenCV. It includes base OpenCV.
2. If you use 127.0.0.1 for your picture url it will not show on phones.

Thanks for your support. 
fixed - thank you again.1. You only need to install the contrib package of OpenCV. It includes base OpenCV.
? Everything works fine - also on phones. Is it better to take http://localhost or the server IP ?2. If you use 127.0.0.1 for your picture url it will not show on phones.

A couple of corrections to your Zoneminder install procedure...
Your procedure adds the ppa but does not install Zoneminder.
sudo apt-get update is not needed in Bionic as add-apt-repository does this.
apt install zoneminder is needed!
sudo systemctl enable zoneminder.service should be: sudo systemctl enable zoneminder
sudo systemctl start zoneminder.service not needed as the installer starts Zoneminder
sudo a2enmod cgi is not needed as the Zoneminder installer does this.
Set your correct timezone in /etc/php/7.2/apache2/php.ini is not needed as the timezone is now set in Zoneminder Options
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /usr/share/zoneminder/ DO NOT DO THIS! Security risk and is not needed!!!

Thanks for the useful tutorial. Being able to restrict ANPR to just the road area was helpful.
