Supported platform:
CameraPlus has the following features
Add the plugin to your cordova project:
cordova plugin add https://github.com/moonware/cordova-cameraplus.git
startCamera( options, success_callback, error_callback );
stopCamera( success_callback, error_callback );
getVideoFormats( success_callback, error_callback );
setVideoFormat( success_callback, error_callback );
getJpegImage( success_callback, error_callback );
getJpegImage will return a JPEG image encoded in base 64.
You can then set it to an image from HTML/JS part of the application:
Standard JS:
camImage.src = "data:image/jpeg;base64," + data;
or
AngularJS/Ionic:
<img src="https://github.com/Moonware/cordova-cameraplus/raw/master/data:image/jpeg;base64, {{data}}">
A ready to try Ionic application is available here: https://github.com/Moonware/cordova-cameraplus-testapp
On iOS there are known memory leaks issues related to UIWebView, the application will most likely crash after a few minutes of intensive usage (pulling images at 15-20fps). The Android version doesn't seem to suffer from similar problems.

In order to solve the above problem, we have decided to change the approach and to use HTTP for transferring the images between the native code back to Cordova rather than using the "standard" plugin approach.
Therefore we have created the CameraServer Plugin which is a fusion between CameraPlus and CorHttpd:
