I have modified the above answer and removed the initial prompt, since when we want to use device's camera the system is prompting for permissions itself:

func checkPermissions() {
    let authStatus = AVCaptureDevice.authorizationStatus(forMediaType: AVMediaTypeVideo)

    switch authStatus {
    case .authorized:
        setupCamera()
    case .denied:
        alertPromptToAllowCameraAccessViaSetting()
    default:
        // Not determined fill fall here - after first use, when is't neither authorized, nor denied
        // we try to use camera, because system will ask itself for camera permissions
        setupCamera()
    }
}

func alertPromptToAllowCameraAccessViaSetting() {
    let alert = UIAlertController(title: "Error", message: "Camera access required to...", preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.alert)

    alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .default))
    alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Settings", style: .cancel) { (alert) -> Void in
        UIApplication.shared.openURL(URL(string: UIApplicationOpenSettingsURLString)!)
    })

    present(alert, animated: true)
}
