Does anyone know what kind of data usage to expect?  I have three cameras on my system and would like to know what to expect data wise as I have a 300GB cap on my service.  Thanks!

i don't think you have to worry with a 300gb cap...

 

A clip I have is 16secs in lenght and runs 1.4mb..   So about =< 1 mb per ten seconds of recording.

These cameras are designed to record if motion or manually turned on not 24/7 so I'm pretty sure your good.

FWIW, I'm recording at the best setting for 2 minutes on one camera and file size is ~10MB.  That changes with details, etc. but should give you a feel.  Even lots of videos won't be an issue except for whatever plan you have with Arlo and how long you want to keep things.  Monitor/delete every day and won't be a problem.
