In-Game
Hacking: Capture is the essential hacking upgrade and one of the most useful upgrades in the game. Though not required to advance, as all of the plot-essential hacking terminals are level 1, which Jensen receives by default at the beginning of the game, being able to hack higher level terminals will be a persistently useful ability for any playstyle and will enable Jensen to disable cameras, obtain information, enter restricted areas, and disable or reprogram turrets and robots. This is an augmentation that comes in handy early and often, with the first Level 5 terminal in the game encountered extremely early on in Detroit.

Hacking: Capture allows the player to hack higher level terminals. Without sufficient upgrades in Hacking: Stealth or Hacking: Fortify or liberal usage of nuke and stop software, high level terminals will be challenging to hack, as level 5 nodes carry a default 100% chance of detection.

Camera Domination  allows the player to view though security cameras as well as disable them.

Turret and Robot Domination are required to gain access to control of turrets and robots, respectively. Jensen can use security hubs to convert turrets and robots, turning them against his enemies, or he can disable them.

This is a passive augmentation and does not cost energy or need to be activated.
