Enhancements

v0.3

📐 Documentation Navigation Restructure

We’ve reorganized the documentation into a clearer, more intuitive structure with 4 main categories.

New Navigation Structure

1. General

• Getting started articles and basic integration approaches
• Quick start guide and API overview

2. Advanced

• Detailed implementation guides organized by product category:
  • Cameras: Video streaming, player implementation, advanced techniques
  • Access Control: QR code access control and door management
  • Alarm Monitoring: Placeholder for future alarm monitoring guides
  • IoT Sensors: Placeholder for future sensor integration guides
  • More: Backup footage, webhook listeners, and other advanced topics

3. Low Code / No Code & AI

• Integration guides for no-code/low-code platforms:
  • Zapier integration
  • Make.com integration
  • N8N integration
• AI approaches:
  • Documentation MCP (Model Context Protocol) for AI tool integration

4. API Reference

• Complete REST API reference with 846+ endpoints
• Live endpoint testing directly in the documentation
• Auto-generated from OpenAPI specification

Benefits

• Better Organization: Content is now grouped by use case and complexity level
• Easier Discovery: Product-specific guides are easier to find
• Clearer Paths: From getting started → advanced implementations → API reference
• Future-Ready: Placeholder sections for upcoming content (Alarm Monitoring, IoT Sensors)

All existing links continue to work - no breaking changes to content or URLs.
