# Camera Recorder

URL: https://phishdestroy.io/developer-tools/camera-recorder
Category: Misc
Where it runs: Runs locally (nothing you enter is uploaded)

Start the camera, record a clip with sound and download it as a video file. Your browser asks for camera and microphone permission first, and the recording stays in the browser until you download it.

## Example input

Short test clip

```
Press Start Camera, allow access, press Record, then Stop after a few seconds
```

A Download Recording link appears with the file size; the file (WebM in most browsers) is saved only when you click it.

## FAQ

### What permissions does it need?

Camera and microphone together. The page's permission policy allows them for this page only, and your browser asks you before the camera starts; if you refuse either, or no microphone is connected, the tool shows an error.

### Where does the recording go?

It is kept in your browser's memory and offered as a download link; the page does not upload it, and it is gone when you close or reload the page. Stop ends the recording but leaves the camera on until you leave or reload the page.

### Which file format do I get?

WebM with VP9 or VP8 video and Opus audio where the browser supports it, otherwise MP4. The whole clip is held in memory until you download it, so very long recordings need a lot of RAM.
