Recording a camera video to file

After we have learned how to capture a still image from our camera, let's proceed to learn how to record videos as well. First, open mainwindow.h and add the following variables:

private: 
   Ui::MainWindow *ui; 
   QCamera* camera; 
   QCameraViewfinder* viewfinder; 
   QCameraImageCapture* imageCapture; 
   QMediaRecorder* recorder;

void MainWindow::on_recordButton_clicked()

   { 
         if (!recording) 
         { 
               recorder = new QMediaRecorder(camera); 
               camera->setCaptureMode(QCamera::CaptureVideo); 
               recorder->setOutputLocation(QUrl(qApp-
