- This is a forked version from (PeterPriority)[https://github.com/PetePriority/chicony-ir-toggle] Original toggle only sets IR cam on, but does not enable the alternative frame mode which flashes the emitter to boost face detection performance, this method is based on Peter's finding in a discussion from Howdy github repo.
