Default back camera

Im using a camera input in mobile app

Currently i have a dropdown box with

Camera1.AvailableDevices

to list the available cameras on the phone, Ideally I would like to not need this and for the camera input to use the back camera only, is there a way to do this?

On my phone that i am testing the above lists four cameras 2 front 2 back, But other mobiles that will be using the app may not have the same phone model, I can't set the default 2 camera 3 for example as this might not be the back camera on the users phone.

Any ideas?

Hi @amyharkus86 ,

You can use below formula and have a try:

First(Search(Camera1.AvailableDevices, "Back", "Name"))

AvailableDevices – Table of the available cameras on the device.

Table contains two columns:

Id number to be used with the Camera property

Name provided by the device to identify the camera. Some platforms may include Front or Back to help locate the camera.

Note: Not all devices in the table may be usable in your app. Some may be specialized drivers or applications intended for specific purposes.

Best regards,
