library0.2.0pypypiunverified

Streamlit Camera Input Live is an alternative version of Streamlit's built-in `st.camera_input` component. Unlike the standard version, it returns webcam images live without requiring a button press, making it suitable for real-time preview applications. The current version is 0.2.0, with an infrequent release cadence, having last been updated in September 2022.

camera_input_live

✓ from streamlit_camera_input_live import camera_input_live

This quickstart demonstrates how to embed a live camera feed into a Streamlit application. It uses `camera_input_live` to continuously capture frames and displays them using `st.image`. A checkbox is included to toggle the visibility of camera controls.

import streamlit as st from streamlit_camera_input_live import camera_input_live st.set_page_config(layout="centered") st.title("Streamlit Live Camera Input Demo") st.write("### See a new image every second") controls = st.checkbox("Show camera controls", value=True) image = camera_input_live(show_controls=controls, key="my_camera_input") if image is not None: st.image(image, caption="Live Camera Feed", use_column_width=True) st.success("Image received live!") else: st.info("Waiting for camera input...")

Debug

Known issues

breakingVersion 0.2.0 standardized argument casing, which may break older code relying on different case conventions for parameters. For example, `show_controls` might have been `showControls` in prior versions.

fix

Review the function signature and update argument names to use standard Python snake_case (e.g., `show_controls`).

affects: <=0.1.0

gotchaThis component prioritizes simplicity over raw performance and may be noticeably slower for high-frame-rate, real-time video processing compared to alternatives like `streamlit-webrtc`.

fix

For basic live previews, adjust the `debounce` parameter (e.g., `debounce=100` for 100ms updates). For advanced, high-performance real-time applications, consider using `streamlit-webrtc`.

affects: All versions

gotchaThe component does not natively support selecting the back camera on mobile devices, defaulting to the front camera.

fix

There is no direct fix within the component itself. If back camera access is critical, more advanced Streamlit components or custom JavaScript might be required, or using `streamlit-webrtc` which often offers more granular camera controls.

affects: All versions
