I linked a bug that seems to be for that camera. There's a solution there if you feel comfortable compiling a driver.
Open a terminal and run
lsusb

Check if you see the camera ID listed there and if it is one of the listed here:

There are bugs with that Intel video chip.
Here you have several potential solutions.
I have the same problem in a computer at work.

Did you compile the UVC driver?
What does lsusb show?

Can you help with this problem?
