A camera component library for React Native providing photo/video capture, barcode scanning, and face detection. It is now deprecated in favor of react-native-vision-camera.
Use cases
- capture photos and videos in a react native app
- scan barcodes and qr codes with the phone camera
- detect faces using the device camera
- add a camera view to an ios and android app
When to choose
- maintaining a legacy react native app already using rncamera
- you cannot migrate to react-native-vision-camera yet
When to avoid
- starting a new react native project - use react-native-vision-camera instead
- you need active maintenance, bug fixes, or new features
- you need a permissively licensed dependency - it has no license file
