Conceptually I can understand that Termux cant take a photo or video from a camera device because it doesnt have access to the camera drivers that Android has…
…except that the Termux API does allow you to take a photo. So why is video off limits?

here is the script that kinda does what you want: https://gist.github.com/tusharhero/1635bdcaf616e3c310a9492d993ec17c
Yeah I have a bash script that does similar, using the notification API for interactivity
FOLD_CAMERA=CameraShots TEMP_PID=~/.record_pid APP_ID=record mkdir -p $FOLD_CAMERA function main { termux-notification \ --id $APP_ID --group RECORD \ --priority max \ --button1 "Front" \ --button1-action "termux-notification-remove $APP_ID;bash $0 record 1" \ --button2 "Back" \ --button2-action "termux-notification-remove $APP_ID;bash $0 record 0" \ --button3 "Quit" \ --button3-action "termux-notification-remove $APP_ID;exit" \ --title "Record" } function record { local cam=${1:-0} termux-notification \ --id $APP_ID --group RECORD \ --priority max \ --button1 "Stop" \ --button1-action "termux-notification-remove $APP_ID; bash $0 killproc" \ --title "Rec. $cam" (while :; do termux-camera-photo \ -c $cam \ $FOLD_CAMERA/$(date "+%Y%m%d-%H%M_${cam}_record.jpg") done) & local pid=$! echo -n $pid > $TEMP_PID } function killproc { local last_pid=$(cat $TEMP_PID) if [ "$last_pid" == "" ]; then termux-toast "Could not kill process. Restart the phone." else kill $last_pid && bash $0 main fi } [ "$*" = "" ] && main || eval "$*"
It just needs ffmpeg tied to the exit function
