Select from multiple cameras

[nitesh-nair]

If i have an external camera connected, is there a way to select that from the page rather than going into chrome settings and changing it?

From enumerateDevices, you can get the list of available cameras. And then use contraints option in webcamjs deviceId: { exact: [the device id you get from enumerateDevices] }

navigator.mediaDevices.enumerateDevices()
.then(function(devices) {
  devices.forEach(function(device) {
    console.log(device.kind + ": " + device.label +
                " id = " + device.deviceId);
  });
})
.catch(function(err) {
  console.log(err.name + ": " + err.message);
});
// when you get device.deviceId,you can replace xxx in  deviceId: {exact: 'xxx' },
        Webcam.set({
            width: 320,
            height: 180,
            image_format: 'jpeg',
            jpeg_quality: 90,
            constraints: {
                width: 320, // { exact: 320 },
                height: 180, // { exact: 180 },
                facingMode: 'user',
                deviceId: {exact: 'xxx' },
                frameRate: 30
            }
        });
        Webcam.attach( '#my_camera' );
