Features
- Change the resolution.
- Hide the UI.
- Switch between greyscale and thermal colour.
- The thermal colour mode shows the amount of InfaRed light that is recieved by the InfraRed sensor. It is NOT a thermal camera because the sensor only detects shorter infrared wavelengths of around 850-940nm that are emitted by a TV remote for example. It cannot detect heat's wavelength.
- Turn on and off the IR led.
- Detach the controllers to use like a mini camera.
Installation
Download the release ZIP, extract files to your Switch SD card root.
Controls
Press Left Stick - Hide/Show UI
D-Pad Up/Down - Switch between thermal/greyscale
