Mostly webcams are USB connected, even it's internal. Like bluetooth adapter on my laptop.
Run command: lsusb to see what you have.

# Ricoh Webcam Ry5u870: 05ca:1830, 05ca:1832, 05ca:1833, 05ca:1834, 05ca:1835, 05ca:1836, 05ca:1870, 05ca:1810. There is a working driver (http://avilella.googlepages.com/r5u870-0.10.0.tgz) but needs to be incorporated in the mainstream kernel.
# The above driver doesn't yet support Ricoh's new cameras like 05ca:1839, which is the Motion Eye included in the Sony Vaio CR, and possibly others.
