svywebcam

Welcome to the svywebcam wiki!

This wiki provides comprehensive documentation for using the svywebcam web-component, which allows you to utilize the browser's webcam within Servoy's NGClient. The component is a wrapper for the jpeg_camera project.

Getting Started

First import the component using one of the release binaries or via Servoy's Web Package Manager.

If you would like to see the component in an example - install the included sample solution, webCamExample.servoy.

Example Usage

First add the component to a form by dragging it into the form using the Palette Wizard. It should be under svywebcam section.

Then setup an event handler for getBase64Data event. This is a callback function that will return data once the snapshot is taken.

Finally capture an image using capture. This will capture a shot and if successful data will be returned to the getBase64Data handler.

elements.webcam.capture();

Known Issues

There is currently an issue with OSX and Safari Browsers preventing the component to initialize as expected. If you are having an issue with this, please try adding the flash plugin and using that instead.

iOS requires that you have an HTTPS connection to use this component.
