SRProximityRecord

SRProximityRecord is a small class and delegate to record video (or audio) by covering the proximity sensor. It's based on the idea used by Beme.

Requirements

Swift 2.0 — Currently this requires the latest Xcode Beta. It could probably be converted down to 1.2 very easily.

Installation

Installation can be done via CocoaPods or manually.

CocoaPods

Make sure your project is set to use frameworks by adding use_frameworks! to your Podfile. Then, include the following to install SRProximityRecord to your target.

pod 'SRProximityRecord'

Manually

Clone the repo into your project and manually assign the Target Membership to your target

Usage

Using SRProximityRecord is easy and you only need to call the shared instance once to get it all working.

let SRP = SRProximityRecord.sharedInstance
SRP.requestPermissions()
SRP.delegate = self

Requesting permissions will request access to camera, microphone and photo library.

Setting the delegate will allow you to use the methods outlined below.

If you're using CocoaPods, make sure your import the module into your classes using import SRProximityRecord

Methods

There are a few public methods that you can use.

Method	Description
`requestPermissions()`	Request permissions for camera, microphone and photo library if we need to
`startRecording()`	Start recording audio/video
`stopRecording()`	Stop recording audio/video

Properties

There are a number of properties that can be overriden to change the default behaviour of SRProximityRecord.

Property	Type	Description
`startRecordingAutomatically`	`Bool`	By default recording will be started automatically when the proximity sensor is covered. If you'd like to do this manually to say show an interim screen, change this to false.
`captureDevice`	`AVCaptureDevice`	Reference to the back camera or nil if the device used doesn't have a camera.
`audioDevice`	`AVCaptureDevice`	Reference to the microphone or nil if the device used doesn't have a microphone.
`captureOutput`	`AVCaptureOutput`	The output type. This can be video, image or audio. By default it's `AVCaptureMovieFileOutput`
`outputPath`	`String`	Path to where the output file will be recorded.
`autoSave`	`Bool`	If you want to automatically save the temporary file to the camera roll. Default is true.
`delegate`	`SRProximityRecordDelegate`	Optional delegate
`sharedInstance`	`SRProximityRecord`	Static reference to an instance of the class
