Dropping "software" works, but I'm not so sure about "camera", since
by default that means the non-video ("still camera") variety. As long
as nobody expects PCs to have integrated SLR cameras it should be
fairly obvious what you mean, but it still might be safer to say:
It works on a standard computer equipped with a "webcam".
