Pull request overview
This pull request enhances the generic camera integration documentation by introducing a structured "Advanced settings" section in the configuration flow. The change improves user experience by grouping specialized configuration options under a collapsible advanced section, making the initial setup cleaner and less overwhelming for basic users while keeping advanced options accessible.
Key changes:
- Restructured configuration documentation to nest advanced options under an "Advanced settings" parent key
- Added a descriptive warning message for the advanced settings section
- Maintained all existing configuration options with their original descriptions
| Frame Rate: | ||
| description: The number of frames-per-second (FPS) of the stream. Can cause heavy traffic on the network and/or heavy load on the camera. | ||
| Verify SSL certificate: | ||
| description: Enable or disable SSL certificate verification. Set to false to use an http-only camera, or you have a self-signed SSL certificate and haven't installed the CA certificate to enable verification. |

The word "false" should be formatted as code since it's a boolean value. Consider changing "Set to false" to "Set to false" to properly format this technical value.
| Limit refetch to URL change: | ||
| description: Limits re-fetching of the remote image to when the URL changes. Only relevant if using a template to fetch the remote image. | ||
| Use wallclock as timestamps: | ||
| description: ([Advanced Mode](/blog/2019/07/17/release-96/#advanced-mode) only) Rewrite the camera timestamps. This may help with playback or crashing issues from Wi-Fi cameras or cameras of certain brands (e.g., EZVIZ). |

The reference to "Advanced Mode" in parentheses appears redundant now that this setting is already within the "Advanced settings" section. Consider simplifying the description to avoid confusion and improve readability.
