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. |

Property Documentation▲
[read-only, since 6.7] correctionAngle : const QtVideo::Rotation▲
Returns the rotation angle needed to compensate for the physical camera rotation of the camera compared to its native orientation. In other words, the property represents the clockwise angle through which the output image needs to be rotated to be upright on the device screen in its native orientation. Since correctionAngle is relative to the native orientation, this value does not change with altering the device orientation (portrait/landscape). The correction angle may be non-zero mostly on Android, where native and camera orientations are defined by the manufacturer.
This property was introduced in Qt 6.7.
Access functions:
-
correctionAngle() const
[read-only] description : const QString▲
Returns the human-readable description of the camera.
Use this string to present the device to the user.
Access functions:
-
description() const
[read-only] id : const QByteArray▲
Returns the device id of the camera
This is a unique ID to identify the camera and may not be human-readable.
Access functions:
-
id() const
[read-only] isDefault : const bool▲
Returns true if this is the default camera device.
Access functions:
-
bool isDefault() const
[read-only] position : const Position▲
Returns the physical position of the camera on the hardware system.
Access functions:
-
position() const
[read-only] videoFormats : const QList<QCameraFormat>▲
Returns the video formats supported by the camera.
Access functions:
-
<> videoFormats() const
