An output of "ls -l /dev/video0" would be more helpfull.
Essentially, you have to change the permissions of /dev/video0 to
something like 660 for root:video, 600 for <youruser>. The second option
is the saner one (otherwise anyone who belongs to group video can open
the camera and watch you. OTOH this is relevant for a multiuser system
with remote access only). You can do this with "chmod 660 /dev/video0 &&
chown root:video /dev/video0". How to make this permanent depends on the
distribution, no idea how to do this on debian best.
