Security Cameras & CCTV Systems

What it does for you: Opens the door to a higher-margin category with real staying power, especially if you move early in a market that isn’t saturated yet.

Urban security concerns, the growth of gated communities, and the rise of short-term rental properties are pushing camera and DVR demand up across the region. Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia drive most of the volume, but Caribbean markets are growing fast from a smaller base — which means less competition for you right now.

Why this benefits your bottom line: Branded closeout lots let you compete on price against entrenched distributors without giving up buyer trust. One heads-up: Mexico and Brazil require certification (IFT and ANATEL, respectively) for networked camera systems — build that into your cost calculations before you commit to a lot, so your margin estimate is accurate from day one.
