Where exactly should newbie questions be raised ??

[troglodyte]

I'm interested in information re integration between Zoneminder & non-camera inputs (note official lines 'Highly partitioned design allow other hardware interfacing protocols to be added easily for support of alarm panels etc.' & 'Support external triggering by 3rd party applications or equipment.' which suggest there is capability for communication between Zoneminder and PIR detectors, smoke detectors etc' Considering that Zoneminder appears to already have most of the essentials in place, there shouldn't me that much involved in configuring it to recognize input from other than camera inputs. Maybe these questions need to be posted in another part of the forum before they are considered worth responding to although newbies couldn't reasonably be expected to know all the protocols. Since it appears that at least one newbie question dating from January 2014 along these lines has failed to draw even one response, I wonder if some unknown rule has been transgressed, resulting in the post being ignored. Where then should these queries be made so that responses are received ??
