Streamate 3 2 1 Camera Live Capture Interval in your Chatroom?

[camshow]

What's the time interval in your room between the automatic shots Streamate takes? I watched it closely last night and noticed the 3 2 1 countdown appears on my screen EXACTLY every 2 minutes. This seems more frequent than usual (and excessive) so I am curious if everyone's room gets snapped by the "Live Capture Profile Image" camera every 2 minutes.

When I requested an "on break" button a few months back (and got it) I was told my on break usage would be monitored closely, but I didn't notice that the camera popped up more often. This month I asked for a fixed Bio-pic so those awful live capture photos wouldn't be the first impression a customer sees on the main page. I'm wondering if these two things are related but it seems like having the fixed bio-picture would lead to turning the camera off or staying the same. I don't know why it would take shots more often. And what could SM be doing with all those candid freechat photos besides assembling a hot blooper slide show of me scratching myself and eating grapes? Am I being 'monitored' for below the waist nudity and other rule-breaking behavior more than the average cam model?

This is what the Performer Manual has to say about the Live Capture Profile Image:

When you first begin streaming for the day, the link to your show will have your profile picture on it.

While you are in unpaid chat, our system will periodically take photos to use instead of your profile picture. This helps members see what your stream currently looks like, and hopefully get them interested in checking out your show! Once you stop streaming, it will go back to your profile pic.

Right before a Live Capture photo is taken, a countdown will appear at the top of the streaming page. This gives you a chance to smile or pose if you want to!

Please note that live captures are only taken while you are in unpaid chat. Pictures are visible to anyone, including site guests who are not members. This is one reason it's important not to show below-the-belt nudity in free chat! No images are taken when you are in a paid show.
