var storage  = navigator.getDeviceStorage('videos');
var cameraOptions = {
  camera: navigator.mozCameras.getListOfCameras()[0]
};
var recordOptions = {
  rotation: 0,
  maxFileSizeBytes: 1024 * 1024 * 1024 // 1Go
  maxVideoLengthMs: 1000 * 60 * 60     // 1h
}

function onRecordStart() {
  console.log("The device is recording the video output from the camera");
}

function onAccessCamera( camera ) {
  myCamera = camera;

  camera.startRecording(recordOptions, storage, 'myVideo.3gp', onRecordStart);
};

navigator.mozCameras.getCamera(cameraOptions, onAccessCamera);

function stopRecord() {

    myCamera.stopRecording();
    console.log("The device has stopped recording the video output from the camera");
  }
}

document.addEventListener('click', stopRecord);
