When the camera triggers, two images are taken. One image with a high resolution (e.g. 12 MP = MegaPixel), which is saved on the SD card; and a smaller image with a lower resolution for sending. The sent image is not saved.
COINs are consumed when images are sent from the camera to the server. No costs are incurred when sharing images with other people. There are also no costs when taking a picture with picture sending switched off.
Depending on the image size and camera model, one or more COINs are used.
Consumption:
icucam 5 - 4G camera *
S - Image = 1 COIN, resolution: 640 x 320
M - Image = 1 COIN, resolution: 1,024 x 768
L - Image = 2 COINs, resolution: 1,280 x 960
icueasy - 4G camera *
S - Image = 1 COIN, resolution: 640 x 320
M - Image = 1 COIN, resolution: 1,024 x 768
L - Image = 2 COINs, resolution: 1,280 x 960
icucam 4 - 4G camera *
S - Image = 1 COIN, resolution: 640 x 320
M - Image = 1 COIN, resolution: 1,024 x 768
L - Image = 2 COINs, resolution: 1,280 x 960
icucam lite - 4G camera
S - Image = 1 COIN, resolution: 640 x 320
icutrap - 3G Camera *
icuhunt - 3G Camera *
S - Image = 1 COIN, resolution: 640 x 320
M - Image = 2 COINs, resolution: 1,280 x 960
L - Image = 4 COINs, resolution: 1,920 x 1,440
The differences in the cameras are due to the fact that the 4G cameras are more efficient thanks to the improved technology and can therefore produce sharper images at a lower resolution.
*) The size of the images sent can be adjusted.
