AI-generated from the code · Odoo 16.0

Adds a WebCam button to image fields in Odoo so users can take a photo with their camera and save it directly into the record.

This module adds a small camera button next to image fields in Odoo forms. When a user clicks it, a "WebCam Booth" dialog opens showing a live camera preview and a placeholder image.

  • The dialog has three buttons: "Take Snapshot", "Save & Close" and "Close".
  • "Take Snapshot" captures the current camera image and shows it next to the live preview.
  • "Save & Close" is disabled until a snapshot has been taken; once clicked, the captured photo is saved into the image field as a JPEG file named "web-cam-preview.jpeg".
  • Closing the dialog stops the camera preview.

The module works on any image field in Odoo, because it extends the standard image widget. It also reads a system setting called web_widget_image_webcam.flash_fallback_mode through the ir.config_parameter model; when this setting is set to "1", the camera uses a Flash fallback mode. No new menus or screens are added; the feature appears directly inside existing forms wherever an image can be uploaded.
