Have you ever wanted to buy security cameras under $100 dollars, with high quality? You have to make a good plan before buying security cameras, because that could exceed your budget. Some security cameras could be expensive, but some could be less than one hundred bucks, in a favorable price.
We’ve often seen customers looking for security cameras under $50, $100, or $200. Less than $50 dollars? I’ve been working in security camera industry for 10 years (well, you can trust me), and honestly speaking, there are few. If you are lucky to find some (without contracts), most probably they are in very very low quality (they may not work after a few months), and they come from some unknown brand — except the giveaways. Anyway, security cameras or surveillance cameras are high-tech smart products.
Note: In some cases, you can get security cameras for free or in a very low-price in activities. We’ve listed several workable ways in the post How to Save Money When Buying Security Cameras, and you can try them. Uhm, don’t forget to get back to this post.

In this post, I will detail a list of those high quality security cameras from $50 to $100 dollars for 2020. And I will write another post about security cameras under $200.

Best Security Cameras under $100 Dollars for 2021
There are many choices for security cameras under $100, but you need to find out the best ones for your own money. Security video cameras in the same or similar prices vary a lot – some are 1080p (2MP) full HD, while some are 720p. 1080p security cameras are much better than 720p security cameras, of course.
Let me illustrate this point. If a thief breaks into your house (hope this never happens) and leaves with his car, the 1080p security cameras can capture much clearer videos and pictures, which enables you to see clearly the thief’s characteristics (his face, clothes, etc.) and his car license plate number. Security cameras in 720p may fail to do it, especially when it’s in long distance.
