embed live camera view inside a UIView

Question

I\'ve been trying to figure out how to embed a small(ish) live camera view inside of an iPhone\'s UIView to no avail.
I have not even been able to find any

Answer 1

For your purpose you need to use AVFoundation, specifically look at AVCaptureSession , AVCaptureDeviceInput, which you can use in order to get access to the cameras and look into AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer which will allow you to draw the camera input to the screen, everything you need is in there..
