Dell Webcam Central is a simple application that makes using your Dell webcam easier.  Designed specifically to be used with the internal webcams of Dell laptops, Dell Webcam Central allows you to perform more functions with your webcam with greater ease of use.  The application is very simple and includes separate tabs for taking photos and for recording videos.  It lets you adjust picture settings such as brightness, contrast, color, gamma and backlight, choose the photo size, and use a self-timer or burst mode.  Dell Webcam Central also has a button for uploading videos to YouTube, which simplifies sharing so that even beginners can share videos with ease.  Basically, Dell Webcam Central simplifies and streamlines the entire webcam user process so that it is much easier to use and the features and functions are right at your fingertips.  The software was developed for Dell by Creative Technology and came preinstalled on many Dell notebooks.  

Features:

  • The simple two-tab interface for photos and videos
  • Picture controls for brightness, contrast, color, gamma, flicker and mirror image
  • Photos saved as JPEG or BMP, with optional date and time stamps
  • Self-timer, burst mode, anti-motion blur and several photo sizes
  • Video effects such as avatars and face tracking
Dell Webcam Central is completely free and easy for even beginners to use.

The Dell Webcam Central application will make using your Dell webcam a breeze, even for beginners who are overwhelmed by the webcam and its many features and functions.  Best of all, Dell Webcam Central is available as a free download for both Windows 32 bit and 64 bit systems.  The only caveat is that it is only compatible with Dell computers, as it is designed specifically for Dell computers.  Dell has ended support for the program, and it is not available for Windows 8, 8.1 or 10, where the built-in Windows Camera app is used instead.
