I am assuming these are part of a large sensor network. If the devices should definitely have some processing capability. It may be good to do some local processing/compression to reduce the required bandwidth.
Good theory, but the devices in question are taking pictures. We need all the pics so there's not much we can do to reduce the volume of JPEGs.
Well you could reduce the quality of the JPEGs. It's a lossy representation format after all :-) (If it's anything like the photos I've seen taken by cellphones, they're ridiculously large and low quality, but still encoded as high quality, so using imagemagick + jpegoptim to reduce it to a 75% 1080xthingy might not be as silly as it first sounds.)
