How do I know if my camera supports FHD?

Objective

To check if you have a camera in your system that supports FHD(1080p)

Applies To

• Vonage Video API
• Resolution
• FHD

Procedure

Users can check the manufacturer information for a specific device or built-in camera to confirm if the camera supports FHD(1080p).

You can use the following code in the browser console or include it inside your application and this will warn if the camera can't capture FHD(1080p).

const constraints = {
     audio: true,
     video: {
         width: {
             min: 1920
         },
         height: {
             min: 1080
        }
    }
}
let stream;
try {
    stream = navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia(constraints);
} catch (err) {
     // console.log(err)
     if (err.name === 'OverconstrainedError') {
        console.warn('1080p is not supported on this camera');
     }
}

Alternatively, you can also check for overConstrained errors on the browser level using the following utility to scan the camera and verify if it supports FHD(1080p) or not: https://webrtchacks.github.io/WebRTC-Camera-Resolution/
