Access camera from a browser

Yes it is possible to access the camera from the browser, following is the code that worked for me

<html><head>
</head><body>
    <video src="" ></video>
    <br />
<button id='flipCamera'>Flip</button>
</body>
<script>
  var front = false;
var video = document.querySelector('video');
  document.getElementById('flipCamera').onclick = function() { front = !front; };
  var constraints = { video: { facingMode: (front? "user" : "environment"), width: 640, height: 480  } };
  navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia(constraints)
  .then(function(mediaStream) {
    video.srcObject = mediaStream;
    video.onloadedmetadata = function(e) {
    video.play();
};
})
.catch(function(err) { console.log(err.name + ": " + err.message); })
</script></html>

    <style type="text/css">
        #container {
            margin: 0px auto;
            width: 500px;
            height: 375px;
            border: 10px #333 solid;
        }

        #videoElement {
          width: 500px;
          height: 375px;
          background-color: #777;
        }
    </style>    
<div id="container">
            <video autoplay="true" id="videoElement"></video>
        </div>
        <script type="text/javascript">
          var video = document.querySelector("#videoElement");
          navigator.getUserMedia = navigator.getUserMedia||navigator.webkitGetUserMedia||navigator.mozGetUserMedia||navigator.msGetUserMedia||navigator.oGetUserMedia;
    
          if(navigator.getUserMedia) {
            navigator.getUserMedia({video:true}, handleVideo, videoError);
          }
    
          function handleVideo(stream) {
            video.srcObject=stream;
            video.play();
          }
    
          function videoError(e) {
    
          }
        </script>

**SIMPLE JAVASCRIPT VANILLA **

var video = document.querySelector("#videoElement");

if (navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia) {
    navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({ video: true })
        .then(function (stream) {
            video.srcObject = stream;
        })
        .catch(function (err0r) {
            console.log("Something went wrong!");
        });
}
