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 pictures 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.
