AFAIK, there isn't, but I use cheese for my webcam.
sudo apt-get install cheese
It has many more options than the builtin camera. Yea, I would love to stick with the builtin stuff, but it needs many more features before it can be considered a full webcam program.

@KasunSiyambalapitiya If you have an issue installing something like cheese, open a new issue. I'm no longer running elementary at the moment. Commented Jul 25, 2016 at 18:02
Some times the webcam could be disabled. Try
xinput --list
xinput enable id-of-your-webcam
