It cannot be ignored that the price of used CCTV cameras is much lower compared to the new products available in the market. But it is better to keep in mind that the cheap price of these products can directly affect the quality of your CCTV system. Even if the used camera he buys initially provides you with good image quality and night vision, it will definitely break down soon.
In the following, we will introduce you to some examples of problems that you may encounter when buying a used CCTV camera.
Disadvantages of buying a used CCTV camera
Uncertainty
One of the most important disadvantages of buying a used CCTV camera is that the buyer is not sure whether the product has physical health, function, and performance or not, because the CCTV camera is one of the goods and accessories that the buyer cannot try and test the product at the moment and then pay for it. Also, the buyer does not have access to new and more diverse models, and it must take some time to be able to buy new models in this way cheaper.
Financial insecurity
Another issue that causes some buyers to distrust in the used market of internet sites and applications is that buying and selling in these markets is done without intermediaries and only between the buyer and the seller. Therefore, there is no supervision by regulatory and legislative organizations in this method of buying and selling. The applications and sites themselves advise buyers to pay in person after viewing the product and confirming its authenticity.
Lack of a valid warranty
If you buy a used CCTV camera without a warranty, you will face very serious problems. The machine you buy is likely to have been repaired several times, so the life of the device will be very short and will fail in a short time. In this case, you will not be able to replace the device. This increases the costs of your CCTV system.
Lack of security and privacy
If you buy a used CCTV camera and video recorder, the previous owner may not provide you with the codes, in which case they can violate your privacy and access the received images.
Theft Problems
If you buy a used CCTV camera without knowing that it is stolen and are identified by the police, you will easily get involved in a theft case. The lack of authentic documents and documents eliminates the possibility of proving the ownership of the CCTV camera.
In Conclusion
Buying a used camera may reduce costs at first, but in the long run, it will be an unreasonable option, so we recommend that if you have a limited budget, you should use a cheap CCTV camera from the Q Plus brand instead of buying a used CCTV camera.
By purchasing a Q Plus brand CCTV camera, you benefit from a valid 36-month warranty, which reduces your CCTV system costs.
