I'm not proposing you store it on S3, but I used the price of S3 standard as a cost estimate. In reality I expect you could get the cost to be much less (I mean, even S3 standard is closer to 2 cents than the 3 cents I quoted) with on-premises storage. You also wouldn't need every minute of every video instantly available like you would get with S3 standard, further reducing costs.
I had a hard time finding the bandwidth costs, but since you've done the math already, I'd like to hear what you came up with.
AWS has hard drives that they can send you empty and you fill em up and send them back for upload to S3. They even have semi trucks full of hard drives that will drive to you: https://aws.amazon.com/snowmobile/
