# Welcome to VHS Camera - Widget

## Overview

The **VHS Camera Widget Blueprint** brings nostalgic vibes to your Unreal Engine game. Designed to mimic the classic VHS camera recording interface, this blueprint offers a range of features:

1. **Blinking REC Indicator**: The iconic red “REC” light blinks when recording is active, just like those old-school camcorders.
2. **Time Indicator**: Display the elapsed recording time in hours, minutes, and seconds.
3. **Battery Indicator**: Keep track of your virtual camera’s battery life with a visual indicator.
4. **Zoom Slider**: Adjust the zoom level dynamically using the camera FOV.
5. **Flashlight Indicator**: Toggle the flashlight mode on or off, complete with a visual cue.
6. **Flashing Blackscreen effect:** Great effect for camera transitions.
