Navigate to another view from Appdelegate trough a UIButton

I have the following issue. I have made a UIButton in my Appdelegate and i want that button navigate me to another ViewController. I already made a connection from my Storyboard, this connection is a type Modal Segue. I thought that performSegueWithIdentifier will do the job but it gives me the following error "has no segue with identifier 'showCamera' ". And im pretty sure that i have made that Identifier trough the Storyboard.

let camera = UIButton.buttonWithType(UIButtonType.Custom) as UIButton
     camera.addTarget(self, action: "takePicture:", forControlEvents: .TouchUpInside);

    //this function works 
    func takePicture(sender: UIButton!){
        println("Open Camera")

    //this throws an error        

self.window?.rootViewController?.performSegueWithIdentifier("showCamera", sender: self) 
        }

I would be very gratefull if someone can help me out with this.
