This is a PHP library to capture webcam frames.

Demo

You can see this library in action here with a simple Mjpeg stream implementation.

Requirements

• PHP > 7.4

• Ext FFI

• OpenCV (e.g. libopencv-videoio-dev on APT based systems, opencv-dev on Alpine Linux)

Installation

composer require vdechenaux/webcam

Usage

<?php

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

$webcam = new \VDX\Webcam\Webcam();

// It can produce an other size if your webcam does not support the provided size
$webcam->setDesiredSize(1280, 720);

if ($webcam->open()) {
    $webcam->saveFrame('/tmp/test.jpg'/*, true*/); // It accepts a second parameter to mirror the image
    $webcam->close();
}
