So far apple iPhone simulator don't have feature to connect to the system camera. Only way to see working camera application is to use real device

As iDroid said, there doesn't seem to be a way (here's the corresponding doc, http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/Xcode/Conceptual/ios_development_workflow/125-Using_iOS_Simulator/ios_simulator_application.html). Googling it, however, has produced a possible workaround:
