Summary

Stops recording video on the device; you should call this at some point after calling CameraControl.startRecording().

Syntax

CameraControl.stopRecording();

Parameters

None.

Example

This code starts recording video, and, when the user clicks (or taps the screen), stops recording.

var myCamera = null;
var storage  = navigator.getDeviceStorage('videos');
var cameraOptions = {
  camera: navigator.mozCameras.getListOfCameras()[0]
};
var recordOptions = {
  rotation: 0,
  maxFileSizeBytes: 1024 * 1024 * 1024 // 1Go
  maxVideoLengthMs: 1000 * 60 * 60     // 1h
}
function onRecordStart() {
  console.log("The device is recording the video output from the camera");
}
function onAccessCamera( camera ) {
  myCamera = camera;
  camera.startRecording(recordOptions, storage, 'myVideo.3gp', onRecordStart);
};
navigator.mozCameras.getCamera(cameraOptions, onAccessCamera);
function stopRecord() {
  if (myCamera) {
    myCamera.stopRecording();
    console.log("The device has stopped recording the video output from the camera");
  }
}
document.addEventListener('click', stopRecord);

Specification

Not part of any specification; however, this API should be removed when the WebRTC Capture and Stream API has been implemented.
