Accessing Notification Settings

Notification settings can be tailored for each monitored area, allowing you to receive alerts only for the incidents that matter most to you.

For instance, during peak wildfire season, you may want to receive notifications for all new detections, while in quieter seasons, fewer notifications may suffice.

Open the "Monitor" menu.
Locate your monitored area in the list.
Click on the "..." button.
Scroll down and select "Edit Area & Notifications".
Select your preferred channel by activating the toggle.
