Milestone Alarm Input / outputs - digital i/o

Q1) can essential+ be configured to use dry relay contact inputs for alarm inputs? Q2) can dry relay contacts be used for alarm outputs? (such as alarm/relay i/o on older cctv recorders) i am looking for a way to incorporate parameter sensors (motion pir detectors) & security lighting. i have looked at products/modules such as: ip Network I/O Relay - AXIS P8221 , AXIS A9188 IP lighting - Raytec's Vario products ip parameter - Optex IP Sensors/Detectors 20131119- Optex integration Axis ALL are way over my budget, AND it seems noting gets into or out of milestone WITHOUT going through "their" drivers. I am hoping to find a means to integrate something like, "I/O Board, Ethernet, 55 Digital I/O" ---> Link: I/O Board, Ethernet, 55 Digital I/O, 7 Analog Inpu Note that an input is sent as a TCP message from the camera to the milestone Recording Server (device driver) and relayed to the milestone Event server. Outputs are instructed by XProtect through the Recording server (device driver), but do not create any events. In some cases, wiring the output to an input will be helpful to get an Event for it. any idea's? , Such the Blue Iris and Arduino for alarm input/output
