Cheese over SSH

[scottuss]

I've tried running Cheese over SSH to get a view of my flat (sad, I know!) but it's very jumpy.

My upload speed at home isn't the best in the world, and Cheese seems to struggle. Does anyone know of any software that will allow me to view the cam, specifying low quality settings etc to at least get a steady picture.

I know it wont be amazing, but Cheese is crashing. I tried Camorama, but it didn't pick up my webcam.

Any suggestions?

man ssh revealed the -C switch for compression, quite useful actually. However, my plan has changed and I'm going to stream the webcam without having to go over SSH.
