Html5 webcam snapshot repository?

Hi,

I'm looking for a repository that can be open up the webcam and allow the user to capture an image (front or back cam should be selectable). Oohoo capture did this with flash but I'm looking for a html5 version of this. I know Poodll has a snapshot tool but unfortunately we do not have the budget for poodll right now. Also, I'm not looking for AUDIO OR VIDEO. I understand these are complex and require streaming servers. I just want users to be able to take a webcam snapshot and save it. Are there any work arounds to getting to this. Alternatively, if someone is willing to help adapt existing repo to do just the jpg snapshot, I'd be willing to pay. Thoughts?

Well, Moodle has audio and vido capture build it. Anywhere where you input content with the HTML editor, you can add audio or video.

It is a bit strange, but for some reason inserting still images captured with the camera has not been implemented yet. (It clearly could be done https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebRTC_API/Taking_still_photos, just needs someone to write the code, and the code for the existing atto_recordrtc plugin would be a starting point.)
