I unplugged the camera, deinstalled webcamd, configured it with debug 
support and installed, then tried to restart devd as suggested:

# /etc/rc.d/devd restart
devd not running?
Starting devd.
Starting webcamd.
Attached ugen3.2[0] to cuse unit -1
Starting webcamd.
Webcamd is already running for ugen3.2.0
