title: Phonegap Camera Control
body: <p>As far as I can tell the Phonegap API has a couple of options to for capturing a picture, but they all 'launch' the phones camera and then return to the app with the path to the captured image.</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to display the camera stream in a control on a page in an app so the image is captured 'within the app'? E.g. like Instagram, the user is not taken out of the app to capture the image i.e <strong>I require custom camera to be opened in a part of my current application page only.</strong></p>
  
  <p>If this is accomplished with a <strong>plugin</strong>, is there an existing third party plugin for Custom Camera or would I need to write this myself?</p>
  
  <p>I REALLY like the whole idea of Phonegap, especially with Phonegap Build (awesome) but if I can't get this kind of functionality I'm going to have to go native :-(</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
