I'm am thinking of setting up a system with a base station hooked up to an lte modem.  Though I've seen posts discussing bandwidth needs, I have yet to see what the monthly data usage looks like.  I'm thinking 2-3 cameras.  Any info grealy appreciated.

It's highly dependant on recording length and number of videos. A lightly used system won't use much data but a heavily used one may swamp you limit quickly. I've seen my usage of 100 to 150 videos take up 1.5GB or so for the free 7 day plan so an average of 200MB a day, plus or minus.

The Pro peaks at about 800k thruput... but an easy way to fiq data is to fiq a 10 sec video will be 1 MB

I usu have 10 videos per day for 10MB ( 8 Arlo cams )

 

But remember, it can be double if you play back ( once to send to servers and onece back to you for play back ) so always est 2MB per ten secs and you'll be safe as you don't always play back
