- Flash based web camera capture (supported by Internet Explorer 9+ and any browser with flash support)

IMPORTANT about HTML5 webcamera support (Chrome, Firefox, Safari on desktop and iOS): it is required to run your website (even test website) via SSL connection. Otherwise, web camera won't initialize at all as it requies SSL connection.
