When the camera is triggered, two pictures are taken. One high resolution image (e.g. 12 MP = MegaPixel), which is saved on the SD card; and a smaller image with lower resolution for sending. The sent image is not saved. 

COINs are consumed when images are sent from the camera to the server. There are no costs when sharing images with other people. There are also no costs when taking a picture with picture sending turned off.

Depending on the image size and camera model, one or more COINs are consumed. 

Consumption:

icucam 5 - 4G camera *

S - Picture = 1 COIN, resolution: 640 x 320

M - Picture = 1 COIN, resolution: 1,024 x 768

 L - Image = 2 COINs, resolution: 1,280 x 960

icueasy - 4G Camera *

S - Picture = 1 COIN, resolution: 640 x 320

M - Picture = 1 COIN, resolution: 1,024 x 768

 L - Image = 2 COINs, resolution: 1,280 x 960

icucam 4 - 4G camera *

S - Picture = 1 COIN, resolution: 640 x 320

M - Picture = 1 COIN, resolution: 1,024 x 768

 L - Image = 2 COINs, resolution: 1,280 x 960

icucam lite - 4G camera

S - Picture = 1 COIN, resolution: 640 x 320

icutrap - 3G Camera *

icuhunt - 3G Camera *

S - Picture = 1 COIN, resolution: 640 x 320

M - Image = 2 COINs, resolution: 1,280 x 960

 L - Picture = 4 COINs, resolution: 1,920 x 1,440

The differences in the cameras come from the fact that the 4G cameras are more efficient due to the improved technology and can therefore produce sharper images at a lower resolution.

*) The size of the images sent can be set.
