Access camera from a browser

by

As of 2017, WebKit announces support for WebRTC on Safari

Now you can access them with video and standard javascript WebRTC

E.g.

var video = document.createElement('video');
video.setAttribute('playsinline', '');
video.setAttribute('autoplay', '');
video.setAttribute('muted', '');
video.style.width="200px";
video.style.height="200px";

/* Setting up the constraint */
var facingMode = "user"; // Can be 'user' or 'environment' to access back or front camera (NEAT!)
var constraints = {
  audio: false,
  video: {
   facingMode: facingMode
  }
};

/* Stream it to video element */
navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia(constraints).then(function success(stream) {
  video.srcObject = stream;
});

Have a play with it.
