I'm building an application with the MEAN stack that allows users to use a mobile device's rear-facing camera through a browser. I am looking for a way to utilize a rear-facing camera to take a photo and save it to a database where I'll use it in a inventory system. I have looked at HTML5's getUserMedia() but seems to use mostly Audio and Video. Can anyone point me in a direction that will be useable across up-to-date browsers as well.

You would use <input type="file" id="take-picture" accept="image/*"> to prompt the user for access to their camera.

Works on Android 3.0+ and iOS 6.0+
