I am using the following code to access the camera but aim is to read QR codes using camera. Using the following code I can only take the picture and save it then using my backend read the QR code from the saved file.
How can I modify the code to process the picture while the camera is reading. Or something like sending the streams to the back-end and once the QR code is detected it notifies the user.
I need to work with a tablet.
I can use the following to record videos as well but how to send the streams to back-end
<input type="file" capture="camera" accept="video/*">

Capturing the video and sending it to the server will be prohibitively bandwidth-intensive on a mobile device. I would give jsqrcode a try and do it all client-side in JavaScript. Also, see this answer.
