Hello @nathan45654 ,
In order to use the advanced DepthAI functionality, you can interact with the Oak cameras directly using the luxonis API.
You can turn off the camera service from your launcher and access / manage the cameras from the command line or from your own scripts following the instructions at:
https://docs.luxonis.com/en/latest/
Turning off the farm-ng camera service is important if you are going to do this as the Oak cameras can only be accessed / managed by one process at a time.
Good luck with your projects!
Kyle
