Feat: Add Camera Selection Dropdown for Webcam Face Search #621

Description

@rohan-pandeyy

Describe the feature

The webcam face search feature currently uses the default camera without providing users the ability to select from multiple available cameras, which could leave the user in a sticky situation where they might want to change the camera or stuck on an unusable camera like in the case below.

Proposed Behavior

  • Display a dropdown menu above the "Capture Photo" button for switching between cameras.
  • List all available video input devices with their labels.
  • Allow users to dynamically switch between cameras.
  • The webcam preview should update immediately when a different camera is selected.
  • The dropdown should display "No other cameras detected" in case only one camera is available.

Benefits

  • Improves user experience for users with multiple cameras
  • Allows selection of higher quality external cameras over built-in webcams
  • Essential for desktop users with multiple video input devices
  • Enables use of specialized cameras (e.g., high-resolution, wide-angle)
