VIEW MODES & PERFORMANCE PRESETS

Cycle the views with V, and tune SPECTER to your hardware

VIEW MODES

Press V to cycle through the available views. The exact order depends on your sensor configuration, connected camera streams, and performance preset.

ViewWhat you seeRequires
RGBLive color feed with detection overlays.RGB source
DEPTHFalse-color or mono depth map.Depth sensor
DEPTH BLENDRGB with semi-transparent depth map overlaid on top.Depth + RGB source
POINT CLOUD (3D)Orbitable 3D depth point cloud colored from the live RGB feed.Depth + RGB source
ROOM MAPAccumulating 3D room scan of your physical environment.Depth + ROOM MAP mode
CONTROL CENTER (2x2 multi-feed)A consolidated view displaying up to four active camera feeds in a 2x2 grid.Multiple active video feeds
THERMALHeat-signature mapping overlay or standalone thermal video feed.Thermal camera accessory
IP CAMERASLive network-connected RTSP or MJPEG camera streams.Connected IP cameras on network
The Show performance preset enables the 3D views and DEPTH BLEND in the view cycle.

For DEPTH and POINT CLOUD (3D) controls (RANGE, DEPTH COLOR, RESET, SAVE VIEW), see DEPTH & 3D depth controls.

PER-FEED DETECTOR TOGGLES

In SPECTER, each camera or sensor feed operates as an independent analysis channel. Through the user interface or Settings panel (accessible via Ctrl+Shift+G), investigators can configure per-feed detector toggles. This allows you to independently enable or disable specific analytical detectors on each active camera feed:

This independent toggling ensures you can dedicate specific feeds to targeted tracking while leaving other feeds running purely clean visual capture, optimizing both CPU utilization and on-screen clarity during intense investigations.

PERFORMANCE PRESETS

Open Settings → Performance preset and choose the option that matches your machine.

PresetUse when
LightLaptop is struggling, depth-only path; RGB feed and color ML off.
BalancedDefault, RGB and depth balanced for most investigations.
ShowDemo reel or max quality, turns on the 3D views and DEPTH BLEND in the view cycle.
Changing preset may require a feed restart. If views do not update, switch source (press S) or restart the app.
