4G CCTV Data Usage Calculator
Work out how much mobile data a 4G camera uses in a month from live viewing, event clips and cloud uploads.
The sub-stream most apps use for live view.
Leave at 0 if the camera records to its own SD card.
Results
Live viewing per day: 38 MB
Event clips per day: 100 MB
Continuous upload per day: 0 MB
Total per month: 4.5 GB
Plan size with 20% spare: 5.4 GB
Counted in decimal units (1 GB = 1,000 MB). Firmware updates and app check-ins add a little more.
How it works
Data is bitrate x time: megabits per second x seconds, divided by 8, gives megabytes. Live viewing, event clips and any continuous upload are added up for a day, an overhead allowance goes on top, and the day is multiplied by the days in the month.
