Using the Slider Controls
Several panels include slider controls that allow users to adjust how nearby fires and indicators are identified and ranked. These controls influence what evidence is displayed; they do not directly control pumps or actuators.
What the sliders do
Search radius controls how far from the site or selected fire the system looks for relevant data.
Time window limits how recent hotspot detections must be to be considered.
Cluster EPS (km) sets how tightly hotspot detections must group together to form a cluster.
Minimum points sets how many detections are required before a cluster is treated as meaningful.
Tight settings favour conservative, high-confidence results. Looser settings reveal weaker or more distant patterns for diagnostic purposes.
Conservative vs exploratory settings
Conservative settings (smaller radii, shorter time windows, tighter clustering, higher minimum points) are designed for operational awareness. They minimise false positives and focus on signals closely related to the selected incident.
Exploratory settings (larger radii, longer time windows, looser clustering, lower minimum points) are intended for scanning the broader landscape and understanding why certain data is excluded from operational use.
Exploratory results may be displayed without being used for geometry or threat estimation. This distinction is intentional.
