Veli-Pekka Kestilä told me what to do:
Anyway as no one has answered you in the list here is some help, you
should look /etc/udev which is configuration for udev daemon which
creates the entries for devices. You need to make rule for your device
which assigns it to right group and user and gives it necessary
permissions.
I made a new file called
/etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules
with the line
KERNEL=="video*", MODE="0666"
which works nicely.
Its still a shame I had to blacklist gspca_ov519, but at least my cam
works again!
