Can't bind to 'switchCamera' since it isn't a known property of 'webcam'.

[lawaldare]

core.js:12478 Can't bind to 'switchCamera' since it isn't a known property of 'webcam'. core.js:12478 Can't bind to 'trigger' since it isn't a known property of 'webcam'.

I have been having this warning error in the console and the webcam is not working at all

Hi @lawaldare Could you share your code, how you have added the webcam component to your page? Also, checkout the Readme for further usage information. Thanks!

<webcam [height]="500" [width]="500" [trigger]="triggerObservable" (imageCapture)="handleImage($event)" [imageQuality]="1" (initError)="handleInitError($event)"></webcam> <br /> ` <button class="actionBtn" (click)="triggerSnapshot();">Take A Snapshot <div class="snapshot" *ngIf="webcamImage">

Nice one!

                <img [src]="webcamImage.imageAsDataUrl" />
            </div>`

` public showWebcam = true; public webcamImage: WebcamImage = null;

// webcam snapshot trigger
private trigger: Subject<void> = new Subject<void>();
// switch to next / previous / specific webcam; true/false: forward/backwards, string: deviceId
// private nextWebcam: Subject<boolean | string> = new Subject<boolean | string>();

public get triggerObservable(): Observable<void> {
    return this.trigger.asObservable();
}
public triggerSnapshot(): void {
    this.trigger.next();
}
 public handleImage(webcamImage: WebcamImage): void {
    console.info('received webcam image', webcamImage);
    this.webcamImage = webcamImage;
}`

I also imported it in the AppModule, I think the fact that it throwing this error: Can't bind to 'trigger' since it isn't a known property of 'webcam'. in the console that's why it ain't working. It's not even asking for camera access

Hmm, seems to be okay. Can you compare your code and inclusion in AppModule to this demo project? https://github.com/basst314/ngx-webcam-demo/tree/master/src/app You can also try copying this code into your project to see if it makes a difference.

Also, what happens if you only add <webcam></webcam> without any properties?

[lawaldare]

Yes, thanks it's working now. I wasn't importing it in the right module. I thought importing it in the App module will make it work anywhere in the component but I had to import it in the closest module of the component. Thanks

Glad you got it fixed!
