Webcam Specs Display

This repository contains two scripts that demonstrate how to capture and display webcam specifications using both HTML/JavaScript and Python. These scripts allow you to retrieve and display information such as resolution, frame rate, aspect ratio, and megapixels of your webcam.

Contents

• index.html: An HTML/JavaScript file that runs in a web browser and displays webcam specifications.
• webcam_specs.py: A Python script that captures and displays webcam specifications using OpenCV.
• requirements.txt: A file listing the Python dependencies required to run the webcam_specs.py script.

Getting Started

HTML/JavaScript (index.html)

The index.html file allows you to access your webcam and view its specifications directly in your web browser.

Features:

• Displays the resolution, megapixels, and aspect ratio for both photo and video streams.
• Shows the frame rate, bitrate, and other general information about the webcam.

Usage:

1. Open index.html in your web browser.
2. Allow the browser to access your webcam when prompted.
3. The webcam specifications will be displayed on the page.

Compatibility:

• This script is compatible with modern web browsers that support the navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia API.

Python (webcam_specs.py)

The webcam_specs.py script uses the OpenCV library to capture and display webcam specifications in the terminal.

Features:

• Retrieves and displays the spatial resolution, the pixel density, the data rate, the frame rate and the aspect ratio of webcam video stream.

Prerequisites:

• Python 3.x

Installation:

1. Clone the repository or download the script.
2. Install the required dependencies using the requirements.txt file:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage:

1. Run the script using Python:

python webcam_specs.py

2. The webcam specifications will be printed in the terminal.

Compatibility:

• This script should work on any system with a webcam and Python installed, along with OpenCV.
