Select the camera while using navigate.getUserMedia()

Question

I am using navigate.getUserMedia() method to capture video on my mobile and do further processing on it. But as of now it is capturing the video using the front camera. How do i make it to access the rear facing camera??

Below is some sample code which i am using in my application:

  navigator.getUserMedia = navigator.getUserMedia || navigator.webkitGetUserMedia;
  if (navigator.getUserMedia){
    navigator.getUserMedia({video: true}, successCallback, errorCallback);

Thanks in advance

This example on simpl.info demonstrates the use of MediaStreamTrack.getSources to select from multiple video sources.

I can confirm that this works in Chrome 32.
