Please install and run powertop. Switch to Tab "Tunables". Make sure that power management is disabled for all devices that are related to your USB camera: your camera, the USB port it is connected to, USB root hubs, your chipset etc.

This does NOT mean that power management has to be disabled to make your camera or other devices work. It just means that power management sometimes leads to issues like the one you reported.
