$ env | grep SSH
SSH_CLIENT=212.205.244.189 64903 22
SSH_TTY=/dev/pts/0
SSH_CONNECTION=212.205.244.189 64903 62.1.205.36 22

If SSH_CONNECTION is set, you can bet you're ssh'ed into a host.

As a small extra tip, I use this as a local hack in the .bashrc file of
the root user in my company's servers, to add customizations that apply
only when an incoming ssh connection from my personal workstation is
detected:

if [ X$( echo ${SSH_CONNECTION} | awk '{print $1}' ) = X"10.0.0.X" ]; then
    # Customizations SSH connections originating at my workstation.
    # - Giorgos Keramidas
    source ~/.bashrc.keramida
