Enable rear camera with HTML5

Question

I\'m working on a project with MVC ASP.Net 4 HTML5 (default browser is google-chrome v29.0.1547.57) I can interact with these tools and take photographs but only with front

Answer 1

In Chrome on my Samsung S8 I can use "facingMode"="environment" to take video from the 'rear camera'. The default seems to be "user" (the 'front' camera)

in TypeScript:

    const video = document.getElementById("video");
    const constraints = {
        advanced: [{
            facingMode: "environment"
        }]
    };
    navigator.mediaDevices
        .getUserMedia({
            video: constraints
        })
        .then((stream) => {
            video.src = window.URL.createObjectURL(stream);
            video.play();
        });
