I would look in the USB part of that menu, not just the webcams part. Perhaps not all cameras appear to your host as webcams.

My intention was that YOU should look at the USB menu. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to understand from it.

If the device is plugged into a compatible host port then it should be visible in that menu. Since I don't know what device you're trying to connect I certainly can't identify it from a menu.

I also can't warrant that your Android VM will have usable drivers for the device.
