📐 Documentation Navigation Restructure

​

New Navigation Structure

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

• 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

• Integration guides for no-code/low-code platforms:
  • Zapier integration
  • Make.com integration
  • N8N integration
• AI approaches:
