Dynamsoft Camera SDK

Dynamsoft Camera SDK is a handy tool that lets developers add webcam features to their software projects. This means you can take screenshots and capture video using any USB Video Class (UVC) compatible webcam or even a browser-based webcam library. It plays nice with different programming languages like ASP.NET (C#/VB.NET), PHP, JSP, ASP, JavaScript, and HTML.

Compatibility Across Browsers

This utility supports a bunch of web browsers: Internet Explorer 6 and up, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and others. It also works smoothly with web servers like IIS, Tomcat, and Nginx. The best part? No third-party frameworks are needed!

Simple Setup Process

Once you install the Dynamsoft Camera SDK, it opens an offline HTML file from its directory. This shows just how easy it is to create a grab page. You can grab images from your camera with just a click after setting up your preferred resolution and adjusting settings like exposure, gain, brightness, contrast, gamma, and saturation.

Image Manipulation Features

Each picture gets displayed right next to the camera frame so you can see them side by side! You have options to rotate images left or right or by 90 degrees. Plus, you can mirror them or crop as needed. Once you're all set up, uploading pictures to an HTTP server is easy in formats like BMP, JPEG, TIFF (single- or multi-page), PNG, or PDF (single- or multi-page). Both sync and async modes are supported!

Embedding Video Streams

You can even embed video streams directly into web browsers! If you need multiple image viewers on your site? No problem! They can be created and destroyed dynamically as needed. You can add images from URLs or local files too—and even convert them into base64 strings!

Creating PDFs with Ease

If you're working on PDF documents, you can set details like the author name, title, subject info—and even adjust the quality for JPEGs! When users visit your site for the first time, they'll also get asked about webcam access permissions (like allow once or always allow).

Your Go-To Tool for Webcam Integration

All in all, Dynamsoft Camera SDK gives web developers an easy way to embed webcam footage into their sites—snap photos and upload images in various formats or PDFs without breaking a sweat.
