I have a Dell from 2012 with a built in video camera. Can I use it to take pictures and video without using skype and sending it to people? If so, how?
Answer
Hi Emma,
I am Shuchi from the Dell Social Media outreach team.
In order to use the inbuilt webcam you need webcam central software for capturing pictures and recording Videos. Usually this software goes preinstalled in the dell system.
Please visit following link for more information regarding the same:
http://dell.to/1eJPKpm
The main screen of Webcam central software 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.
Please revert to this post if you have any further queries and concerns.
We would recommend you do not post your private information on a public forum.
Thanks & Regards

What would it take to make wearable video cameras on police officers mandatory for all departments?
Mtz
Im doing a research paper on police misconduct and the solution to it, my solution is wearable video cameras and i'd like to know what would it take to make it mandatory.
Answer
It would take a history of use showing what the actual effect of law dogs wearing body cams prove.
Wearing a Badge, and a Video Camera
THE Rialto study began in February 2012 and will run until this July. The results from the first 12 months are striking. Even with only half of the 54 uniformed patrol officers wearing cameras at any given time, the department over all had an 88 percent decline in the number of complaints filed against officers, compared with the 12 months before the study, to 3 from 24.
Rialtoâs police officers also used force nearly 60 percent less often â in 25 instances, compared with 61. When force was used, it was twice as likely to have been applied by the officers who werenât wearing cameras during that shift, the study found.

Rialto, CA Police Made to Wear Cameras, Use of Force Drops by Over Two-Thirds
When cops in a Rialto, California were forced to wear cameras, their use of force dropped by over two-thirds. Additionally, the officers who were not made to wear the cameras used force twice as much as those who did. This strongly suggests the majority of the time police use force is unnecessary. In other words, the majority of the time these officers used force they were simply committing acts of violence which they don't feel comfortable committing if it's captured on film.
He said he reminded them that civilians could use their cellphones to record interactions, "so instead of relying on somebody else's partial picture of what occurred, why not have your own?" he asked. "In this way, you have the real one."
Police love to say if you're not doing anything wrong, what do you have to hide, yet all over the nation police unions virulently fight calls to force them to wear cameras.
Fact is, most cops have everything and more to hide.
Their job is to enforce criminally idiotic and anti-human laws written by criminal politicians, from the drug laws to thousands of idiotic regulations on the books, their job is no longer to arrest violent criminals and thieves but to aggress against non-violent, non-criminals -- which turns them into criminals themselves.

Hhmmm seems to have a time termed effect, that being the use of force drops when the dog knows his action are provable. It seems to show that John Q walking into a dog house and complaining about bad doggy behaviors get dropped when John Q is shown the body cam recorded view. But dogs are wary, why? Because like their own concern for personal safety during their shifts, they are concerned with their own privacy from their superiors of what their doing while on the job. so basically the dogs don't want the public to know how they act and they don't want the big dogs to know how they feel, personally.
Officers fear body cameras raise privacy concerns
The lack of clear guidelines on the cameras' use could potentially undermine departments' goals of creating greater accountability of officers
And some rank-and-file officers are worried the technology might ultimately be used to derail their careers if, for example, an errant comment about a superior is captured on tape.
They say, however, that the lack of clear guidelines on the cameras' use could potentially undermine departments' goals of creating greater accountability of officers and jeopardize the privacy of both the public and law enforcement officers.
Equipping police with cameras isn't a new concept. For decades police have used cameras mounted to the dashboards of their patrol cars â initially referred to with suspicion by officers as "indict-o-cams" until they discovered the footage exonerated them in most cases.
