Hey there. Simple question that I hope can warrant a simple answer! I'm looking for a way to make iChat automatically accept an incoming request for video chat.

Essentially, I'd like to be able to send a video chat request from my laptop when I'm on a trip to my mini at home, and have the mini automatically accept the chat and receive/deliver video from an attached USB webcam so that I can give some reassurance to a pet left home alone.

Anyone have an idea of how to set up such a thing? I've been considering using a remote management application to remotely log in to the mini and click the accept button, but there has to be an easier way to facilitate it. And if there is an easier way to set this video chat up with another program I'm all for it.

Thanks!
