  encodingType: this.camera.EncodingType.JPEG,
  mediaType: this.camera.MediaType.PICTURE
}

this.camera.getPicture(options).then((imageData) => {
 // imageData is either a base64 encoded string or a file URI

(CDVPluginResult*)resultForVideo:(NSDictionary*)info
{
NSString* moviePath = [[info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerMediaURL] absoluteString];
return [CDVPluginResult resultWithStatus:CDVCommandStatus_OK messageAsString:filePath];
}

//to THIS:

(CDVPluginResult*)resultForVideo:(NSDictionary*)info
{
NSString* moviePath = [[info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerMediaURL] path];

NSArray* spliteArray = [moviePath componentsSeparatedByString: @"/"];
NSString* lastString = [spliteArray lastObject];
NSError *error;
NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
NSString *documentsDirectory = [NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"tmp"];
NSString *filePath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:lastString];
[fileManager copyItemAtPath:moviePath toPath:filePath error:&error];

return [CDVPluginResult resultWithStatus:CDVCommandStatus_OK messageAsString:filePath];
}
