IR Switch: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 04:40, 30 November 2025

IR-Switch is a Nintendo Switch homebrew application that streams and displays the IR camera feed from the right Joy-Con to the Switch screen.

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 off.
Detach the controllers to use like a mini camera.

Download the release ZIP, extract files to your Switch SD card root.

Left Stick - Hide/show UI

D-Pad Up/Down - Switch thermal/greyscale

Note: Higher resolution for the IR camera slows down the camera speed while lower resolution speeds up the camera speed.
