    I have a Dell XPS 15 L502x
    I've just performed a full system restore to factory settings using my recovery disks and am now uninstalling all the Dell bloatware - e.g. Dell Stage, Dell PhotoStage etc..
    Should I keep Dell Webcam Central or if I uninstall this can I get other software for operating my webcam?
    Any suggestions? Thanks.

    You don't need Dell Software to properly use your webcam, Drivers are more than enough.
    If you need your webcam to make pictures with funny effects or so, just go online and tick the FlashPlayer authorization to go for your webcam. (e.g, neave.com or so)
