First job if nothing is happening is to find out the USB ID of your 
camera and google on it with "Linux" in the search.

If you do

tail -f /var/log/messages

and plug the camera in, look for something with the USB vendor:product 
ID in hex, eg, 0ABC:1234 mentioned.

Some webcams are supported by Fedora but most need an out-of-tree driver.
