How Much Data Will be Consumed to Upload Cloud Recordings for Reolink Go Series

This article will give an estimate of the data needed for Go series cameras to upload videos to the Reolink cloud.

Applies to: Reolink Go, Reolink Go PT, Reolink Go Plus, Reolink Go PT Plus

Data usage depends on the bitrate you set for the camera.

For Reolink Go/Go PT, the default bitrate is 1.5 Mbps for mainstream (up to 2 Mbps) and 160 kbps for substream (up to 512 kbps).

For Reolink Go Plus/Go PT Plus, the default bitrate is 3 Mbps for mainstream (up to 4 Mbps) and 384 kbps for the substream (up to 512 kbps).

If you set the bitrate to 2 Mbps for mainstream (clear mode), each cloud recording will consume approximately 2 MB of data.

If you set the bitrate to 160 kbps for substream (fluent mode), each cloud recording will consume approximately 200 KB of data.
