Hi,
My name is Rajesh and I work for Dell Social Media Forum. The Inspiron N5040 system comes with an optional integrated, 0.3MP, high-speed USB 2.0-compliant personal camera. It is a high speed USB 2.0 compliant webcam for portables to pair with the resolution of image of 640 X 480. The camera integrates a USB 2.0 controller, color-processing engine and high-quality image to provide up to 30fps at VGA (640x480) size in high speed mode.
The camera is located at the top of the LCD and is fixed, which means the camera itself does not move. However, the software it uses provides limited panning abilities.
The camera comes installed with the Dell™ Webcam Central software suite.
You can acess the webcam application under START—ALL Programs—Dell Webcam Central


Thanks,
Dell-Rajesh K

Hi Rajesh...I'm helping a friend with her N5040 that she just got back from Dell for a HD replacement, and the Webcam Software is nowhere to be found. How can I get the software?
