IQeye Pricing

IP cameras used to be very expensive devices. The prices have dropped dramatically just in the last 2 years, and used cameras of megapixel quality are available for quite a deal. Even new cameras are affordable, especially Chinese models and knock-offs on eBay.

Here are some prices you can expect to get for used IQeye cameras by IQinvision as of June 2014. This will give you a better idea of how to negotiate.

These are prices without lenses, unless otherwise noted.

Some explanation of the methodology behind this:

• Outdoor cameras are more expensive than indoor, because of the weatherproof box in addition to the camera itself.
• Higher resolution cameras are more expensive than lower resolution ones...go figure.
• Night/Day cameras (anything with an "N" in the list above) are more expensive, as they have a movable IR-Cut filter. This mechanical component is more expensive to implement. Or you can do it cheaply like Foscam does. They have an endemic problem with this on their cheaper models.
• No IQeye cameras are wireless
• Most IQeye cameras do not come with lenses, cameras with lenses are more expensive
• Cameras with H.264 are more expensive
