Detailed Description▲
QCameraDevice represents a physical camera device and its properties.
You can discover what cameras are available on a system using the availableCameras() and defaultCamera() functions. These are contained within QtMultimedia::MediaDevices.
This example prints the name of all available cameras:
const QList<QCameraDevice> cameras = QMediaDevices::videoInputs();
for (const QCameraDevice &cameraDevice : cameras)
qDebug() << cameraDevice.description();A QCameraDevice can be used to construct a QCamera. The following example instantiates a QCamera whose camera device is named mycamera:
const QList<QCameraDevice> cameras = QMediaDevices::videoInputs();
for (const QCameraDevice &cameraDevice : cameras) {
if (cameraDevice.description() == "mycamera")
camera = new QCamera(cameraDevice);
}You can also use QCameraDevice to get general information about a camera device such as description and physical position on the system.
QCamera myCamera;
QCameraDevice cameraDevice = camera->cameraDevice();
if (cameraDevice.position() == QCameraDevice::FrontFace)
qDebug() << "The camera is on the front face of the hardware system.";
else if (cameraDevice.position() == QCameraDevice::BackFace)
qDebug() << "The camera is on the back face of the hardware system.";See Also▲

Member Type Documentation▲
enum QCameraDevice::Position▲
This enum specifies the physical position of the camera on the system hardware.
|
Constant |
Value |
Description |
|---|---|---|
|
QCameraDevice::UnspecifiedPosition |
0 |
The camera position is unspecified or unknown. |
|
QCameraDevice::BackFace |
1 |
The camera is on the back face of the system hardware. For example on a mobile device, it means it is on the opposite side to that of the screen. |
|
QCameraDevice::FrontFace |
2 |
The camera is on the front face of the system hardware. For example on a mobile device, it means it is on the same side as that of the screen. |
