## Why Camera Preview?
23+
24+
A **free**, **fully-featured** alternative to paid camera plugins, built for maximum flexibility and performance:
25+
26+
- **Complete UI control** - Build your own camera interface with HTML/JS overlays instead of native constraints
27+
- **Full hardware access** - Manual focus, zoom, exposure controls, flash modes, multiple cameras
28+
- **Video recording** - Record with custom settings, no arbitrary limitations
29+
- **Universal device support** - Tested across hundreds of Android and iOS devices
30+
- **Performance optimized** - Direct camera stream access, efficient memory usage
31+
- **Modern package management** - Supports both Swift Package Manager (SPM) and CocoaPods (SPM-ready for Capacitor 8)
32+
- **Same JavaScript API** - Compatible interface with paid alternatives
33+
34+
Unlike restrictive paid plugins, you get full camera control to build exactly the experience you want - from QR scanners to professional video apps.
