Camera Prices

Why the prices to move from the model VMS3330 to the VMS3430 are $50.00 but from the VMS3430 to VMS3530 is $150?

The mysteries of bulk pricing.

VMS3530 only costs $625 on Amazon, so the difference between that and VMS3430 is only $125. In addition, VMS3430 contains an external mount, which VMS3530 does not have, which is another $20 difference. Still, the discrepancy is uneven.

I'd say the main reason for the uneven difference is that VMS3530 looks like an Amazon concoction, because it really consists of a base-with-single-camera bundle plus four separate add-on cameras. Probably, there is less markup potential in that combo than the all-in-one bundle VMS3430 is.
