I've been using getUserMedia to access camera from the browser. I tried it on several browsers and it works except on firefox. It works on chrome,avast,opera mini. This is my code:
<button type="button" onclick="turnOn()">turn on cam</button>
function turnOn() {
document.getElementsByTagName('video')[0].play();
var video = document.querySelector('video')
, canvas;
/**
* generates a still frame image from the stream in the <video>
* appends the image to the <body>
*/
// use MediaDevices API
// docs: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MediaDevices/getUserMedia
if (navigator.mediaDevices) {
// access the web cam
navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({video: true})
// permission granted:
.then(function(stream) {
video.src = window.URL.createObjectURL(stream);
/* video.addEventListener('click', takeSnapshot); */
})
// permission denied:
.catch(function(error) {
document.body.textContent = 'Could not access the camera. Error: ' + error.name + " " + error.message;
});
}
}
Hope you could help me. Thank you!
Replace:
video.src = window.URL.createObjectURL(stream);
with:
video.srcObject = stream
