This Hikvision webcam was a pain to get running on Linux Ubuntu.

After plugging it in all my photo taking apps refused to load or crashed very quickly after opening.

I used this to help solve the issue.

After plugging in the webcam, run the following in Terminal

sudo rmmod uvcvideo
sudo modprobe uvcvideo quirks=0x100 trace=1

You may need to run these 2 commands a few times to make them stick, and likely every time before you want to use the webcam.
