CameraStream¶

A CameraStream is a MediaStream from an attached camera device or webcam.

In [1]:

from ipywebrtc import CameraStream

With constraints¶

You can pass constraints to the camera:

In [2]:

camera = CameraStream(constraints=
                      {'facing_mode': 'user',
                       'audio': False,
                       'video': { 'width': 640, 'height': 480 }
                       })
camera

Front and back camera¶

Or use the two convenience methods:

In [3]:

# this is a shorter way to get the user facing camera
front_camera = CameraStream.facing_user(audio=False)
# or the back facing camera
back_camera = CameraStream.facing_environment(audio=False)
