win10-find-all-video-capture-devices

Find all video capture devices on Windows 10.

This module is a wrapper around the DeviceInformation.findAllAsync method from the Windows.​Devices.​Enumeration namespace of the Universal Windows Platform API.

Thanks to NodeRT, this module comes prebuilt for Windows 10.

Installation

npm install win10-find-all-video-capture-devices

Quickstart

const isWin10 = require('is-win10')
const findAllVideoCaptureDevices = require('win10-find-all-video-capture-devices')
 
if (isWin10) {
  findAllVideoCaptureDevices().then(devices => {
    devices.forEach(device => {
      console.log(device)
      /* {
      *   enclosureLocation: {
      *     inDock: false,
      *     inLid: true,
      *     panel: 'front',
      *     rotationAngleInDegreesClockwise: 0
      *   },
      *   id: '{{id}}',
      *   isDefault: false,
      *   isEnabled: true,
      *   kind: 'deviceInterface',
      *   name: '{{name}}',
      *   pairing: {
      *     canPair: false,
      *     isPaired: false,
      *     protectionLevel: 'none'
      *   }
      * }
      */
    })
  })
}

API

findAllVideoCaptureDevices()

• returns a <Promise> which:
  • resolves with an <Array> of video capture devices
  • rejects with an <Error>
    • if used on a non-Windows 10 system
    • if finding the devices failed
