iOS: AVCaptureDevicePosition, how to get from SCRecorder (error: Bad receiver type)

I have some code, in objective-c, which is as follows:

@interface SCRecorderPViewController () {
    SCRecorder *_recorder;
    UIImage *_photo;
    SCRecordSession *_recordSession;
    UIImageView *_ghostImageView;
    CGFloat screenWidth;
    CGFloat screenHeight;

}

And I want to get the active device/camera (whether it is the front one, or the back one), as so:

AVCaptureDevicePosition position = [[_recorder device] position];

But I get an error: Bad receiver type 'AVCaptureDevicePosition' (aka 'enum AVCaptureDevicePosition')

What am I doing "wrong"?

Thanks!
