Good News, your kids can see you :-)

I searched for your webcam in the internet, and it is supported, but not
compiled in the default Ubuntu kernel. See:
http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=3092

You need to install spca5xx-source and run module-assistant (that will do
the work for you).
In module-assistant, you can update and prepare ubuntu to compile and
install the module.

sudo apt-get install spca5xx-source.
sudo module-assistant

#On module-assistant, this might be the correct way to do it.
#i.e. Update, Prepare, Select (spca5xx), Get, Build, Install.

or you can always manually install the driver by:

cd /usr/src/
sudo tar xvf spca5xx-source.tar.bz2
cd modules/spca5xx
sudo make && sudo make install

To test your webcam, you can use Ekiga, or you can record videos
through Youtube and Flash, (probably private) it requires Flash so, you need
to
sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree if it haven't been installed.

Hope this helps!
Joel
