Description

Video applications can access different capture devices through a uniform API.

This library is useful for camera tools, scanners, frame grabbers, machine-vision software, and applications that need video input without writing device-specific code for every backend. It does not add a camera app by itself.

Video capture can expose live images, documents, rooms, or people. Review the parent application for permissions, recording behavior, and storage.
