Starting iOS 6 you can use this code:
<input type="file" accept="image/*" capture="camera">
<input type="file" accept="video/*" capture="camera">
It will act like a regular file upload, but instead, it will open the iPhone camera and upload a picture or a video as mentioned in this StackOverflow answer

You add this code inside your html code, indeed you only need to change your html code for displaying the Open Camera button, change the type to file and add the accept and capture attributes.– Paul NCommented Feb 25, 2013 at 20:42
