how exactly does a well compressed H264 stream at 500 MB per hour work out to 3 TB a year? Wouldn't a years worth of video and audio come closer to thousands of terabytes?

He assumes you only record waking hours and that you are awake 16hrs a day so:

16 * 365 = 5840hrs * 0.5GB per hour = 2920 GB or 2.9 TB. Add another 8GB for a leap year it still doesn't get you over 3TB.
