AWS cost estimation
Main cost
The main total AWS cost can be estimated as follows
total cost = connectivity cost + storage cost (optional) + AI cost (optional)
The AWS storage cost is $10/month per TB, or connectivity cost is everything excluding storage and AI costs and it is typically
$1/month per camera.
This is based on 24/7 connection to a camera, ability to access, manage and watch video and receive camera events.
The AWS storage cost is approximately
$3/month per camera for 30 days of continuous recording, or
$0.5/month per camera for 30 days of event recording.
The connectivity cost is everything but storage cost and is typically

TB.
AI cost
The AI cost (object recognition) is an extra service that can be enabled and disabled per camera at any time. If it’s always enabled then it’s typically from one to a few dollars/month per camera and depends on the amount of motion.
...
There is a minimal set of services that should be running regardless of connected cameras. The typical cost of an idle Cloud VMS deployed on AWS is $200/month. The cost per camera will decrease with more cameras connected to the Cloud VMS.
