This review applies to version 1.0. The latest version of this software will soon be reviewed by our informers.

Dell Webcam Central, developed by Creative Technology for Dell, is a free available for download program. It is intended to be used only on specific Dell Notebooks with compatible hardware and does not work on other computers.
Dell Webcam Central is a program which enables the user to take snapshots, record videos and use videos in chat programs. The main screen has two tabs:

Snap Photos: Pictures can be taken with this option. Further settings available are Photo Size (the default is max-640x480), Self Timer and Burst Rate.
Advanced options include File Format (.jpeg/.bmp) and options to add date and time stamps to pictures.

Record Videos: Videos can be recorded with this option. The settings available are Video Size (the default is max-640x480), Self Timer and Microphone Settings.
Advanced options include Video Format (.wmv/.avi) and an option limiting the video clip duration. When selected, .avi option also shows the audio and video compression options.

General Settings Tab. This setting has the following options: Picture Control - Flicker Control with frequency settings, and video control with backlight, brightness, contrast, Color & Gamma; Face Tracking - Enable/Disable Face Tracking with tracking speed adjustments; Pan & Zoom - Zoom control and Pan & Tilt options.

The tab "Show Todays Captures" has options to Upload pictures to Photobucket, Send by e-mail and Print directly. Another feature "Video Stitch" can be used to combine pictures which can be played as a video file.

The size of a picture when saved as a .jpeg is about 75kb and when saved as a .bmp is about 900k. The size of a 20-sec video when saved as a .wmv is about 2MB and when saved as an .avi with default compression is about 500MB. The Tray Icon has options to Launch the application, and set default options like Start Webcam Central when Windows starts, Enable Mini-mode viewer, and so on.
  • Stitch Videos option is a very useful feature with which one can combine captured pictures to make a slideshow.
  • Not found.

— NOT IMPRESSED!
Pros: it turns on
Cons: service. BAD MANUFACTURING.
Comment: My camera says "please plug in a supported device". I got my laptop 3years ago and haven't used my webcam since, however with my man now working away i thought it would be a good chance to try it out. However it wouldn't work. I phoned up Dell and they are saying its a manufacturing error that has been made internally (so it was their fault basically). Yet they are wanting to charge me over £100 to get it fixed... not the best service. I think ill stick to buying a £10 plug in one from Tesco!

Check in for your device manager weather it is getting detected or not. If it's not, then open your laptop and check your webcam interface pin.

Even I have the same problem in addition to built-in mic. Can you tell me where the interface pin is?
