getUserMedia.js未检测到相机

Question

I am currently hoping to use a getUserMedia (HTML5) tool to create webcam accessible site. The tool found here . It's supposed to use HTML5 to get webcam access, but has a flash fallback for non supported browsers. But when I download it and open the demo locally on my computer I get the error: "JavaScript Alert: No camera available." But when I use the web demo found here . Anyone have an ideas on where I may have gone wrong? Thanks.

Answer 1

The web demo worked fine for me and I'm using Chrome:

• Do you have a camera on your device? That's a simple reason why it wouldn't work.
• Which browser are you using? Is the tool compatible with the your browser? see below for explanation.
• Are you running this on from file? Perhaps (I'm really only guessing) navigator variable doesn't work when loading from file

It probably got this error after it tried accessing your camera when calling the navigator.getUserMedia() function, which is what that tool uses.
I made that function compatable by defining the function to be:

navigator.getUserMedia = navigator.getUserMedia || navigator.webkitGetUserMedia || navigator.mozGetUserMedia;

This is only compatible on Chrome and Firefox (and one other browser which I forgot) but, according to what I've seen recently, not on IE.

Good Luck!
