Arlo Pro 2 data usage - hotspot

[FLKeysCoastie]

Has anyone run an Arlo pro 2 camera system on a hotspot? How much data does it consume monthly? Trying to move my camera system temporarily and planning to do a prepaid hotspot system. Thank you.

That depends on the amount of recordings+live streamings the system does.  Note that smart notifications and cloud activity zones can make it hard to estimate that.  So if you want to estimate bandwidth use on your own system, then make sure you turn off the smart features and deleted the activity zones for a bit.

The other factor is the firmware updates, but those are small compared to the video streaming to the cloud.
