## What it is
A high-performance camera library for React Native offering photo/video capture, QR/barcode scanning, and JS worklet-based frame processors for real-time AI and computer vision. Built on Nitro Modules with AVFoundation (iOS) and CameraX (Android).

## Use cases
- scan qr codes in a react native app
- capture photos and record videos with custom resolutions and fps
- run realtime object detection or facial recognition on camera frames
- build a snapchat-like camera ui with filters and zoom
- scan barcodes in a mobile app
- stream camera frames to javascript for processing

## When to choose
- you need a feature-rich, performant camera in React Native with frame processors
- you need QR/barcode scanning plus photo/video capture in one library
- you want fine control over devices, HDR, night mode, and multi-camera zoom

## When to avoid
- you use Expo and prefer the simpler Expo Camera API
- you are not building a React Native app
- you need a maintained V4 version - V4 is archived

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: ui-components, computer-vision, image-processing, video-processing
- domain: mobile-development, computer-vision, frontend
- platform: cross-platform
