Other than DirectShow as mentioned by Andoni it could also be possible
that your device can be accessed via the kernel streaming API. There's a
GStreamer element for that but it's not completely ported to 1.0 yet:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=702041

Or maybe your device can only be accessed via some MediaFoundation API?
There's no GStreamer plugin for that yet.

First of all you need to check what the driver of your device allows you
to use to access it.
