Understanding Pricing and Usage :

There is multiple factors that need to be considered when asking "Will I get charged?"  

• COST
  • Street View API usage costs every time the image is displayed on any dashboard
  • Cost for the first 100,000 images is $0.007 ($7 per 1,000)
  • You will only be charged if you exceed $200 a month
• MONTHLY CREDIT
  • When signing up for your account, you will have $200 per month credit
• CALL VOLUME
  • Each time you are dispatched and the alarm screen shows, the Street View API will be called
• NUMBER OF DASHBOARDS
  • If you have multiple dashboards, and each dashboard gets every alarm, the API will be called on EACH dashboard
• EXAMPLE SCENARIO 
  • Average Monthly calls 300 and you have 5 dashboards which get every alarm
    • 300 * 5 = 1,500 API calls
    • 1500 * $0.007 = $10.50 cost
