Anything that you want to change should be in a new file inside ``conf.d``. Note that ZoneMinder will sort all the files alphabetically and run their contents in ascending order. So it doesn't really matter what you name them, as long as you make sure your changes are not overwritten by another file in the sorting sequence. It is therefore good practice to prefix your file names by ``nn-`` where ``nn`` is a monotonically increasing numerical sequence ``01-`` ``02-`` ``03-`` and so forth, so you know the order they will be processed.
