A one-page reference sheet to price video analytics per camera per month: the three levers (bandwidth, compute, storage) with their units, the four-tier cost grid (on-camera edge ~$3, on-prem server ~$8, rented cloud GPU ~$45, per-minute API ~$4,350), the four break-even points (the ~8-minute-per-day API-vs-GPU crossover, the ~15-month rent-vs-buy crossover, the edge-camera-premium payback, and the cloud-vs-local storage crossover), and the five multipliers that scale each lever.
