Camera is still open after unmounting or switching route

[Jervx]

Camera is still open after route has changed and the page & component unmounts. I'm seeing my camera light indicator still on.

im using Qr Code Reader on the register page route /events/[id]/register where user can scan their qrcode ID number

once I changed the route like go back to /event/[id] which is the landing page of the specific event. And the camera was still on, and it is also indicated at the tab of the browser

Im using Next.js 14

I also have this kind of problem before two years ago, and still everyone have struggle with it, but here is my solution, i know this is not the best but since i'm using Next 14, reloading the page is not a big deal for me, it feels seamless tho. you can use this to reload the page, so it will close the scanner component window.location.reload();
