Hi,

I'd like to know is it possible to capture video from mobile camera in perspective app?

I have application that client need to capture video and upload it to ignition and I save it as comment on accident.

Is video capture possible when not using a mobile device such as from an IP Camera connected to a standard PC? If so, where can I find information about doing this?
