get gqcam http://cse.unl.edu/~cluening/gqcam/ it is a simple video 
viewer/ frame grabber. The documentation says its for Quickcams, but it 
should also work with other v4l devices. I use it with my kensington 
camera. It can save to jpeg ppm and png. There are also some command 
line image grabbers out there; you can find them at www.linux-usb.org 
These would be useful for remote surveillance or a webcam on a webserver.

Good Luck

Adrian.
