Accessing Mobile camera and microphone

I am going to develop a general application for mobile which will be used for video chatting.Therefore I need to access mobile camera and mic. Is there any functionality in javascript or jQuery by which I will be able to do that. Note: as it is a general function, so it should be able to access the camera of any mobile device.

You can use PhoneGap functionality which uses JavaScript, it's platform independent. You can use the method navigator.device.capture.captureVideo of PhoneGap.

For a solution that actually just "works" and allows you to utilize the device's hardware properly, you'll need to code for native apps specific to the platform you're targeting. (ex. -> iOS, Android, etc.)

There is WebRTC.

But today, even if it aims at being the standard, it doesn't work on all browsers.

I don't think you'll find a standard (non flash or plugin based) and ready library enabling you to use the camera.
