Budget outdoor cameras, ranked by 3-year cost

Of the 4 outdoor cameras with a recorded Canada price, these are the 4 cheapest to own over 3 years, and all of them record without a plan. The cheapest are eufy eufyCam C37 4K (CA$129.99), Reolink Solar Floodlight Cam (CA$139.99) and Reolink E1 Outdoor Pro (CA$179.99), and the 3-year cost runs from CA$130 to CA$260.

Every model with a recorded local price, sorted by hardware plus 36 months of the cheapest plan that records. A low sticker price with a required plan is not a budget camera; the 3-year column shows the difference.

Prices are recorded CAD offers with a checked date, not live quotes. Missing local prices or plan fees stay unpriced; no currency conversion or other-region fallback. Manufacturer specs, not our tests; a blank lens or storage cell means the maker did not publish it.
