4. Use a dedicated network connection
This option can work better for monitoring centers when you need to watch/download many videos.
The standard egress cost is $0.09 per GB (down to $0.05 with volumes).
The cost of transfer through a dedicated connection is $0.02 per GB, plus there will be a cost for network port hours ($0.30/hour for 1Gbps).
The total cost for a monitoring center watching 100 channels simultaneously will be the following:
Data - 36 TB/month (720 hours at 1Mbps, for 100 channels), port hours - 720 hours
Dedicated connection | Standard egress |
|---|---|
$720 + $216 = $936 | $3,240 |
