How to switch frontface camera to backface camera via videojs-record for image capturing?

This works for video (With the code snippet camera changes to backface camera)

 videoPlayer.record().stopDevice();
 videoPlayer.record().setVideoInput('backface-camera-device-id');
But analogically for image doesn't change anything.
Camera still the same (Only frontface camera)
 imagePlayer.record().stopDevice();
 imagePlayer.record().setVideoInput('backface-camera-device-id');
My options for imagePlayer is 
const options = {
                controls: true,
                width: width,
                height: height,
                controlBar: {
                    volumePanel: true
                plugins: {
                    record: {
                        image: true,
                        imageOutputType: 'blob',
                        mandatory: {
                            minWidth: 1280,
                            minHeight: 720,
                        frameWidth: 1280,
                        frameHeight: 720,
const imagePlayer = videojs('image-frame', options);
Image frame is
<video id="image-frame"></video>
My video options (works only with video)
const options = {
                controls: true,
                width: width,
                height: height,
                fluid: false,
                controlBar: {
                    volumePanel: false,
                    cameraButton: true,
                plugins: {
                    record: {
                        audio: true,
                        video: true,
                        videoEngine: 'recordrtc',
                        maxLength: 120,
                        debug: true,
                        mandatory: {
                            minWidth: 1280,
                            minHeight: 720,
                        frameWidth: 1280,
                        frameHeight: 720,
                        timeSlice: 1000
Glad to any help or clue to solve the camera switching problem!
                What approaches did you try so far? Have you tried passing video: { deviceId: {exact: deviceId} } to the initializer instead of setting it afterwards?

                @milgner, I have tried both,  video: { deviceId: {exact: deviceId} } and image: { deviceId: {exact: deviceId} } - still working only for video, but with image - doesn't work.

imagePlayer.record().recordImage = {deviceId: {exact: 'backface-camera-device-id'}};
imagePlayer.record().stopDevice();
imagePlayer.record().getDevice();
worked for me.
