Detailed Description

The QCameraDevice class provides general information about camera devices.

\inmodule QtMultimedia

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:

A QCameraDevice can be used to construct a QCamera. The following example instantiates a QCamera whose camera device is named {mycamera}:

You can also use QCameraDevice to get general information about a camera device such as description and physical position on the system.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ Position

enum QCameraDevice::Position

This enum specifies the physical position of the camera on the system hardware.

\value UnspecifiedPosition The camera position is unspecified or unknown. \value BackFace 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. \value FrontFace 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.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QCameraDevice() [1/2]

QCameraDevice::QCameraDevice ( )

default

Describes a camera device.

\qmlvaluetype cameraDevice
\ingroup qmlvaluetypes
\inqmlmodule QtMultimedia
\since 6.2

! \instantiates QCameraDevice

The cameraDevice value type describes the properties of a camera device that is connected to the system.

The list of camera devices can be queried from the \l{MediaDevices} type. To select a certain camera device set it as the device on \l{Camera}.

\qml CaptureSession { camera: Camera { cameraDevice: mediaDevices.defaultVideoInput } } MediaDevices { id: mediaDevices } \endqml

Constructs a null camera device

◆ QCameraDevice() [2/2]

QCameraDevice::QCameraDevice ( const QCameraDevice & other )

default

Constructs a copy of other.

◆ ~QCameraDevice()

QCameraDevice::~QCameraDevice ( )

default

Destroys the QCameraDevice.
