SUMMARY_OF_SIGNIFICANT_ACCOUNT

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2013
Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure and Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	'
	NOTE 1        SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	Nature of Operations
	Iveda Solutions, Inc. (formerly Iveda Corporation) (the “Company”) began operations on January 24, 2005, under the name IntelaSight, Inc., a Washington corporation doing business as Iveda Solutions (“IntelaSight”). On October 15, 2009, IntelaSight completed a reverse merger with Charmed Homes, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Charmed”) pursuant to which IntelaSight became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Charmed and Charmed changed its name to Iveda Corporation. Prior to the reverse merger, Charmed was a shell company and did not have any operations.
	All Company operations were conducted through IntelaSight until December 31, 2010, at which time IntelaSight merged with and into Iveda Corporation and Iveda Corporation changed its name to Iveda Solutions, Inc.
	The Company installs video surveillance equipment, primarily for security purposes, and provides video hosting, archiving and real-time remote surveillance services to a variety of businesses and organizations throughout the United States.
	On April 30, 2011, the Company completed its acquisition of Sole-Vision Technologies, Inc (doing business as MegaSys) (“MegaSys”). MegaSys was incorporated in the Republic of China (Taiwan) on July 5, 1999. MegaSys designs and integrates electronic security and surveillance products, software, and services.
	Consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and MegaSys through December 31, 2013. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	Going Concern
	The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company generated accumulated losses of approximately $21.8 million from January 2005 through December 31, 2013 and has insufficient working capital and cash flows to support operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.
	A multi-step plan was adopted by management to enable the Company to continue to operate and begin to report operating profits. The highlights of that plan are:
		⋅	In December 2013, the Board of Directors also approved the Company to raise up to an aggregate amount of $3.6 million in bridge financing through  the sale of Convertible Debentures in advance of the long-term financing.
	⋅    The Company successfully raised $1,735,000 through March 14, 2014 in convertible debentures and warrants in a private placement memorandum offering and will continue efforts of this nature during 2014 as deemed necessary.
		⋅	The Board of Directors approved the Company to engage with a financial capital markets advisor in connection with a potential capital financial transaction to raise up to $30 million (“Long Term Financing”).
		⋅	In the third quarter of 2013, the Company launched two new camera lines in collaboration with MegaSys, its Taiwan subsidiary and Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), its nonprofit research and development partner in Taiwan. These products are enablers of the Company’s video hosting services.
		⋅	The Company has recently developed two other standalone services:
		o	IvedaMobile–a cloud-hosting service that turns any smartphone or tablet into a mobile, cloud video streaming device. This was developed with ITRI.
	IvedaXchange – In collaboration with a technology partner, the Company developed a real-time situational awareness dashboard to enable organizations instant access to vital and filtered information such as emergency situations, location of critical assets, video monitoring, and local IvedaXchange – In collaboration with a technology partner, the Company developed a real-times situational awareness dashboard to enable organizations instant access to vital and filtered information such as emergency situations, location of critical assets, video monitoring, and local news. IvedaXchange is well-suited for law enforcement agencies and schools.
		⋅	The Company launched a new website to highlight new products and services with corresponding applications.
		⋅	The Company launched a second website allowing for direct web-sales, geared toward the residential and small-to-medium sized businesses.
		⋅	The Company intends to continue to participate in industry and vertical tradeshows to launch new products, generate leads, solicit resellers and other sales channels, and identify potential technology partners.
		⋅	The Company intends to continue advertising on selected trade magazines and running Google Adwords to generate leads.
		⋅	The Company has evaluated its reseller distribution channel and eliminated non-performing components of the channel.
		⋅	In November 2013, Iveda hired Bob Brilon as our chief financial officer and executive vice president of business development.  He has strong ties with the investment community and has extensive experience in mergers and acquisitions, strategic growth planning, and interacting with domestic and foreign institutional investors, which will be instrumental to our market expansion, global distribution of our cloud video hosting platform and services, and raising capital to fund our growth.  In February 2014, he was also appointed as the Company’s president.
		⋅	The Company is in active collaboration with certain telecommunications companies in other countries to resell the Company’s products and services in their respective countries.
	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
	The Company has a significant amount of property and equipment primarily consisting of leased equipment. The Company reviews the recoverability of the carrying value of long-lived assets using the methodology prescribed in ASC 360 "Property, Plant and Equipment." The Company reviews our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the undiscounted future net operating cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds their fair value. The Company did not make any impairment for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
	Basis of Accounting
	The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
	Revenue and Expense Recognition
	Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title transfer has occurred, the price is fixed or readily determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 605, "Revenue Recognition." Sales are recorded net of sales returns and discounts, which are estimated at the time of shipment based upon historical data.
	Revenues from services are recognized when the services are provided. Expenses are recognized as incurred.
	Revenues from fixed-price equipment installation contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method. The percentage completed is measured by the percentage of costs incurred to date to estimated total costs for each contract. This method is used because management considers expended costs to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts. Because of inherent uncertainties in estimating costs and revenues, it is at least reasonably possible that the estimates used will change.
	Contract costs include all direct material, subcontractors, labor costs, and equipment costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Changes in estimated job profitability resulting from job performance, job conditions, contract penalty provisions, claims, change orders, and settlements are accounted for as changes in estimates in the current period. Profit incentives are included in revenues when their realization is reasonably assured. Claims are included in revenues when realization is probable and the amount can be reliably estimated.
	Comprehensive loss
	Comprehensive loss is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income are required to be reported in a financial statement that is presented with the same prominence as other financial statements. The Company’s current component of other comprehensive income is the foreign currency translation adjustment.
	Concentrations
	Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable.
	Substantially all cash is deposited in two financial institutions, one in the United States and one in Taiwan. At times, amounts on deposit in the United States may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. Deposits in Taiwan financial institutions are insured by CDIC (Central Deposit Insurance Corporation) with maximum coverage of NTD 3 million. At times, amounts on deposit in Taiwan may be in excess of the CDIC Insurance limit.
	Accounts receivable are unsecured and the Company is at risk to the extent such amount becomes uncollectible. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral. Two customers in 2013 represented approximately 54% of total revenues and one customer in 2012 represented approximately 69% of total revenues. The net accounts receivable from this customer was approximately 0% of total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2013. No other customers represented greater than 10% of total revenues in 2013 and 2012.
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
	Accounts Receivable
	The Company provides an allowance for doubtful collections which is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. For our US operation, receivables past due more than 120 days are considered delinquent. For our Taiwan operation, receivables over one year are considered delinquent. Delinquent receivables are written off based on individual credit valuation and specific circumstances of the customer. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012 respectively, an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $31,594 and $22,554 was deemed necessary for our US Operation. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, an allowance of $465,933 and $116,315 was established against the receivables in our foreign corporation. The Company does not generally charge interest on past due receivables.

	Notes receivable represents post-dated checks collected from customers in Taiwan. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts which is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. For our Taiwan operation, notes receivables over 90 days are considered delinquent. Delinquent receivables are written off based on individual credit valuation and specific circumstances of the customer. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, no allowance for doubtful accounts was deemed necessary for our Taiwan operation. The company does not generally charge interest on notes receivable.
	Deposits – Current
	The Company’s current deposits represent tender deposits placed with local governments and major customers in Taiwan during the bidding process for new proposed projects.
Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets
Prepaid expenses and other current assets represent cash paid in advance to insurance companies and vendors for service coverage extending into 2014. It also includes some other receivables as the result of travel advances due from employees.
Inventories
Inventories consists of equipment purchased for installation projects and is recorded at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed primarily using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of three to seven years. Expenditures for routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $201,298 and $197,557, respectively.
Intangible Assets and Goodwill
Intangible assets consist of trademarks and other intangible assets associated with the purchase price allocation of MegaSys. Such assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of six months to ten years. Other intangible assets are fully amortized at December 31, 2013. Future amortization of Trademarks is as follows:
Trademarks
2014		$	20,000
2015		$	20,000
2016		$	20,000
2017		$	20,000
Thereafter		$	66,667
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of MegaSys over the net assets acquired.
We allocate goodwill to reporting units based on the reporting unit expected to benefit from the business combination. We evaluate our reporting units on an annual basis and, if necessary, reassign goodwill using a relative fair value allocation approach. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. These events or circumstances could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, or sale or disposition of a significant portion of a reporting unit.
Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment. We first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired. If the more likely than not threshold is met, we perform a quantitative impairment test. At December 31, 2013, the Company determined that goodwill was impaired and has recorded an impairment of $841,000.

Deposits- long-term
Long-term deposits consists of our security deposit held by Landlord under the First Amendment to Lease effective July 1, 2011 for our domestic office space.
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are recognized in the financial statements for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates. Temporary differences arise from sales cut-off, depreciation, deferred rent expense, and net operating losses. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that represents the Company's best estimate of such deferred tax assets that, more likely than not, will be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable for the year and the change during the year in deferred tax assets and liabilities. During 2013, the Company reevaluated the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and determined that no current benefits should be recognized for the year ended December 31, 2013 for our U.S. operation. However, a benefit of $160,198 is recorded on the balance sheet for our Taiwan business. See Note 9 for more information.
The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as state income tax.

Stock-Based Compensation
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718, Share-Based Payment , which requires the recognition of an expense related to the fair value of stock-based compensation awards. The Company elected the modified prospective transition method as permitted by ASC 718. Under this transition method, stock-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 includes compensation expense for stock-based compensation granted on or after the date ASC 718 was adopted based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718. The Company recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. The fair value of stock-based compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, were estimated using the “minimum value method” as prescribed by original provisions of ASC 718, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation , therefore, no compensation expense is recognized for these awards in accordance with ASC 718. The Company recognized $336,402 and $248,072 of stock-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments, approximate their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and amounts due to related parties. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are receivable or payable on demand.
Segment Information
The Company conducts operations in various geographic regions outside the United States. The operations and the customer base conducted in the foreign countries are similar to the United States operations. The net revenues and net assets (liabilities) for other significant geographic regions outside the United States are as follows:
		Net Revenues			Net Assets
United States		$	487,475		$	562,264
Asia		$	2,607,501		$	-40,455
Mexico		$	250,241		$	-
Furthermore, due to operations in various geographic locations, the Company is susceptible to changes in national, regional and local economic conditions, demographic trends, consumer confidence in the economy and discretionary spending priorities that may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future operations and results.
The Company is required to collect certain taxes and fees from customers on behalf of government agencies and remit these back to the applicable governmental agencies on a periodic basis. These taxes and fees are legal assessments to the customer, for which the Company has a legal obligation to act as a collection agent. Because the Company does not retain these taxes and fees, the Company does not include such amounts in revenue. The Company records a liability when the amounts are collected and relieves the liability when payments are made to the applicable governmental agencies.
The company operates as two reportable business segments as defined in ASC 280. “Segment Reporting.” Each company has a chief operating decision maker and management personnel which review their company’s performance as it relates to revenue, operating profit and operating expenses.

Reclassification
Certain amounts in 2012 have been reclassified to conform to the 2013 presentation.
New Accounting Standards
In March 2013, FASB has issued Accounting   Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830). This ASU resolve the diversity in practice about whether Subtopic   810-10, Consolidation—Overall,    or Subtopic 830-30, Foreign Currency Matters—Translation   of Financial Statements, applies to the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign   entity or no longer holds a controlling   financial   interest in a subsidiary   or group of assets that is a nonprofit   activity or a business   (other than a   sale of in substance  real estate   or conveyance   of oil and gas   mineral   rights)within a   foreign entity. In addition, the amendments in this Update resolve the diversity   in practice for the treatment of business combinations achieved in stages (sometimes   also referred to as step acquisitions)   involving a foreign entity. This ASU is the final version of Proposed Accounting   Standards Update EITF11Ar—Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830), which has been deleted.   The amendments in this Update are effective   prospectively   for fiscal years (and interim reporting   periods within those years) beginning   after December 15, 2013. For nonpublic entities the amendments in this Update   are effective prospectively for the first annual period beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim and annual periods thereafter. The amendments should be applied prospectively to derecognition events occurring after the effective date. Prior periods should not be adjusted. Early adoption is permitted. If an entity elects to early adopt the amendments, it should apply them as of the beginning of the entity’s fiscal year of adoption.
In February 2013, FASB issued Accounting   Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-03, Financial Instruments (Topic 825). This ASU clarifies the scope and applicability   of a disclosure exemption   that resulted from the issuance of Accounting   Standards Update No. 2011-04,Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The amendment clarifies that the requirement to disclose "the level of the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurements are categorized   in their entirety (Level 1, 2, or 3)" does not apply to nonpublic entities for items that are not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position, but for which fair value is disclosed. This ASU is the final version of Proposed Accounting   Standards Update 2013-200—Financial Instruments (Topic 825) which has been deleted. The amendments are effective upon issuance.
In February 2013, FASB has issued Accounting   Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This ASU improves the transparency of reporting these reclassifications. Other comprehensive income includes gains and losses that are initially excluded from net income for an accounting   period.   Those gains and losses are later reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into net income. The amendments in this ASU do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. All of the information   that this ASU requires already is required to be disclosed elsewhere in the financial   statements under U.S. GAAP.
The new amendments will require an organization to:
	•	Present (either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes) the effects on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income - but only if the item reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period.
	•	Cross-reference to other disclosures currently required under U.S. GAAP for other reclassification items (that are not required under U.S.
		GAAP) to be reclassified directly to net income in their entirety in the same reporting  period. This would  be the case when a portion  of the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income is initially transferred to a balance sheet account (e.g., inventory  for pension-related amounts) instead of directly to income or expense.
The amendments apply to all public and private companies that report items of other comprehensive income. Public companies are required to comply with these amendments for all reporting periods (interim and annual). A private company is required to meet the reporting requirements of the amended paragraphs about the roll forward of accumulated other comprehensive income   for both interim and annual reporting   periods. However, private companies are only required to provide the information   about the effect of reclassifications on line items of net income for annual reporting periods, not for interim reporting periods. The amendments are effective   for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, for public companies and are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, for private companies. Early adoption is permitted.
In January   2013, FASB has issued Accounting    Standards Update   (ASU) No. 2013-01,   Balance   Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting   Assets and Liabilities. This ASU clarifies   that ordinary trade receivables and receivables are not in the scope of ASU No. 2011-11,   Balance   Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures   about Offsetting   Assets   and Liabilities. Specifically, ASU 2011-11 applies   only to derivatives,   repurchase agreements and reverse purchase agreements, and securities borrowing   and securities lending   transactions that are either offset in accordance with specific criteria contained in the FASB Accounting   Standards Codification(TM) (Codification) or subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The FASB undertook this clarification project in response to concerns expressed by U.S. stakeholders about the standard’s broad definition of financial instruments. After the standard was finalized, companies realized that many contracts have standard commercial provisions that would equate to a master netting arrangement, significantly   increasing the cost of compliance at minimal value to financial   statement users. An entity is required to apply the amendments in ASU 2013-01 for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity should provide the required disclosures retrospectively   for all comparative periods presented. The effective date is the same as the effective   date of ASU 2011-11.
In October 2012, FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2012-04, Technical Corrections and Improvements. This ASU make technical corrections, clarifications, and limited-scope improvements to various Topics throughout the Codification. The amendments in this ASU that will not have transition guidance will be effective upon issuance for both public entities and nonpublic entities. For public entities, the amendments that are subject to the transition guidance will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. For nonpublic entities, the amendments that are subject to the transition guidance will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2012, FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2012-03, Technical Amendments and Corrections to SEC Sections. This ASU amends various SEC paragraphs pursuant to SAB 114, SEC Release No. 33-9250, and ASU 2010-22, which amend or rescind portions of certain SAB Topics. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. The objective of the measure is to reduce the cost and complexity associated with performing an impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets and to make the impairment test similar to the recent changes for testing goodwill for impairment (ASU 2011-08). ASU 2012-02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012 and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

	In December 2013, the Company sold $425,000 5 year debentures, convertible at any time into common stock at $1.50 per share.  The debentures bear interest at 9.5% interest payable in cash or stock, at maturity.  The debentures included 38,636, 5-year warrants exercisable at $1.65.  The Company paid $111,657 in cash and issued 38,636 warrants (equal to $3,313 on the issue date) for financing costs; these deferred costs have been capitalized to Other assets in the accompanying balance sheets, and are being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the 5 year life of the debt.  The fair value of the conversion option and warrants on the date issued to the debenture holders totaled $27,608, is discounted from the carrying value of the debenture and amortized into interest expense over the 5 year life of the debt using the effective interest method.  At December 31, 2013, the carrying value of the Convertible debentures totaled $397,852, net of the $27,148 debt discount, and accrued interest totaled $2,096.  The company expects to amoritize approximately $49,500 into interest expense in each of the next 5 years reducing the related deferred costs and debt discount.  Principal and all accrued interest is due at maturity, but can be repaid at any time with no penalty.

Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]	'
	NOTE 5	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
	We apply fair value accounting for all financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis.  Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierachy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure the fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest l evel of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurements.
	Level I - Quoted prices in an active market for identical assets or liabilities
	Level II - Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities
	Level III - Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management's estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
	The carrying amounts for cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses, short term debt, approximate their fair values due to the short period of time until maturity.
	The fair value of the convertible option and debenture warrants are measured by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.   As of December 31, 2013, the assumptions used to measure fair value of the liability embedded in our debenture included a conversion price of $1.50, and our freestanding debenture warrants included a warrant exercise price of $1.65 per share, a common share price of $1.10, a discount rate of 1.75%, December 2018 maturity, and a volatility of 20.76%.
	The following table sets forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, our financial instrument liabilities as of December 31, 2013:

	NOTE 10         STOCK OPTION PLAN AND WARRANTS
	Stock Options
	On October 15, 2009, the Company adopted the 2009 Stock Option Plan (the “2009 Option Plan”), pursuant to which it may grant equity awards to eligible persons. The 2009 Option Plan allows the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) to grant options to purchase up to 1,500,000 shares of common stock to directors, officers, key employees, and service providers of the Company. As of December 31, 2013, options to purchase 938,039 shares were outstanding under the 2009 Option Plan.
	On January 18, 2010, the Company adopted the 2010 Stock Option Plan (the “2010 Option Plan”), which allows the Board to grant options to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock to directors, officers, key employees, and service providers of the Company. In 2011, the 2010 Option Plan was amended to increase the number of shares issuable under the 2010 Option Plan to 3,000,000 shares. The shares under the 2010 Option Plan are registered with the SEC under Forms S-8 filed on February 2, 2010 and June 24, 2011. As of December 31, 2013, options to purchase 4,755,283 shares were outstanding under the 2010 Option Plan.
	Stock options may be granted as either incentive stock options intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or as options not qualified under Section 422 of the Code. All options are issued with an exercise price at or above the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant as determined by the Company's Board of Directors. Incentive stock option plan awards of restricted stock are intended to qualify as deductible performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code. Incentive Stock Option awards of unrestricted stock are not designed to be deductible to the Company under Section 162(m). Under the Plan, stock options will terminate on the tenth anniversary date of the grant or earlier if provided in the grant.
	The Company has also granted non-qualified stock options to employees and contractors. All non-qualified options are generally issued with an exercise price that may not be less than the fair value of the common stock on the date of the grant as determined by the Company's Board of Directors. Options may be exercised up to ten years following the date of the grant, with vesting schedules determined by the Company upon grant. Vesting periods range from 100% fully vested upon grant to a range of up to four years. Vested options may be exercised up to three months following date of termination of the relationship. The fair values of options are determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The estimated fair value of options is recognized as expense on the straight-line basis over the options’ vesting periods. The Company has unrecognized stock-based compensation with a weighted-average term of approximately 3 years of $486,750 at December 31, 2013.

	The valuation allowance increased approximately $2,100,000, primarily as a result of the increased net operating losses of the operation in the USA.
	As of December 31, 2013, the Company has federal net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes of approximately $17,000,000 which will begin to expire in 2025. The Company also has Arizona, California and Minnesota net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes of approximately $9,624,000, $1,890,000 and $105,000 which will begin to expire in 2013. These carryforwards have been utilized in the determination of the deferred income taxes for financial statement purposes. The following table accounts for federal net operating loss carryforwards only.

	TAIWAN (REPUBLIC OF CHINA) CORPORATE TAX
	Sole-Vision Technologies, Inc. is a subsidiary of the Company which is operating in Taiwan as a profit-seeking enterprise. Its applicable corporate income tax rate is 17%. In addition, Taiwan’s corporate tax system allows the government to levy a 10% profit retention tax on undistributed earnings for the prior year. This tax will not be provided if the company distributed the earnings before the ended of the fiscal year.
	According to the Taiwan corporate income tax (“TCIT”) reporting system, the TCIT sales cut-off base is concurrent with the business tax classified as value-added type (“VAT”) which will be reported to the Ministry of Finance (“MOF”) on a bi-monthly basis. Since the VAT and TCIT are accounted for on a VAT tax basis that recorded all sales on business tax on a VAT tax reporting system, the Company is bound to report the TCIT according to the MOF prescribed tax reporting rules. Under the VAT tax reporting system, sales cut-off did not take the accrual base but rather on a VAT taxable reporting basis. Therefore, when the company adopted US GAAP on accrual basis, the sales cut-off TCIT timing difference which derived from the VAT reporting system will create a temporary sales cut-off timing difference and this difference is reflected in the deferred tax assets or liabilities calculations on the income tax estimation reported in the Form 10-K.
	Temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and VAT tax reporting system and operating loss carryforwards that create deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

	The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators reflected in the basic and diluted earnings per share computations, as required by ASC No. 260, “Earnings Per Share“ (“EPS”).
	Basic EPS is computed by dividing reported earnings available to stockholders by the weighted average shares outstanding. The Company had net losses for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the effect of including dilutive securities in the earnings per common share would have been anti-dilutive. Accordingly, all options, warrants and shares potentially convertible into common shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. Total common stock equivalents that could be convertible into common stock were 9,860,296 and 7,835,731 for 2013 and 2012 , respectively.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Nature Of Operations [Policy Text Block]	'
	Nature of Operations
	Iveda Solutions, Inc. (formerly Iveda Corporation) (the “Company”) began operations on January 24, 2005, under the name IntelaSight, Inc., a Washington corporation doing business as Iveda Solutions (“IntelaSight”). On October 15, 2009, IntelaSight completed a reverse merger with Charmed Homes, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Charmed”) pursuant to which IntelaSight became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Charmed and Charmed changed its name to Iveda Corporation. Prior to the reverse merger, Charmed was a shell company and did not have any operations.
	All Company operations were conducted through IntelaSight until December 31, 2010, at which time IntelaSight merged with and into Iveda Corporation and Iveda Corporation changed its name to Iveda Solutions, Inc.
	The Company installs video surveillance equipment, primarily for security purposes, and provides video hosting, archiving and real-time remote surveillance services to a variety of businesses and organizations throughout the United States.
	On April 30, 2011, the Company completed its acquisition of Sole-Vision Technologies, Inc (doing business as MegaSys) (“MegaSys”).

	Consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and MegaSys through December 31, 2013. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Liquidity Disclosure [Policy Text Block]	'
	Going Concern
	The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company generated accumulated losses of approximately $21.8 million from January 2005 through December 31, 2013 and has insufficient working capital and cash flows to support operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.
	A multi-step plan was adopted by management to enable the Company to continue to operate and begin to report operating profits. The highlights of that plan are:
		⋅	In December 2013, the Board of Directors also approved the Company to raise up to an aggregate amount of $3.6 million in bridge financing through  the sale of Convertible Debentures in advance of the long-term financing.
	⋅    The Company successfully raised $1,735,000 through March 14, 2014 in convertible debentures and warrants in a private placement memorandum offering and will continue efforts of this nature during 2014 as deemed necessary.
		⋅	The Board of Directors approved the Company to engage with a financial capital markets advisor in connection with a potential capital financial transaction to raise up to $30 million (“Long Term Financing”).
		⋅	In the third quarter of 2013, the Company launched two new camera lines in collaboration with MegaSys, its Taiwan subsidiary and Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), its nonprofit research and development partner in Taiwan. These products are enablers of the Company’s video hosting services.
		⋅	The Company has recently developed two other standalone services:
		o	IvedaMobile–a cloud-hosting service that turns any smartphone or tablet into a mobile, cloud video streaming device. This was developed with ITRI.
	IvedaXchange – In collaboration with a technology partner, the Company developed a real-time situational awareness dashboard to enable organizations instant access to vital and filtered information such as emergency situations, location of critical assets, video monitoring, and local IvedaXchange – In collaboration with a technology partner, the Company developed a real-times situational awareness dashboard to enable organizations instant access to vital and filtered information such as emergency situations, location of critical assets, video monitoring, and local news. IvedaXchange is well-suited for law enforcement agencies and schools.
		⋅	The Company launched a new website to highlight new products and services with corresponding applications.
		⋅	The Company launched a second website allowing for direct web-sales, geared toward the residential and small-to-medium sized businesses.
		⋅	The Company intends to continue to participate in industry and vertical tradeshows to launch new products, generate leads, solicit resellers and other sales channels, and identify potential technology partners.
		⋅	The Company intends to continue advertising on selected trade magazines and running Google Adwords to generate leads.
		⋅	The Company has evaluated its reseller distribution channel and eliminated non-performing components of the channel.
		⋅	In November 2013, Iveda hired Bob Brilon as our chief financial officer and executive vice president of business development.  He has strong ties with the investment community and has extensive experience in mergers and acquisitions, strategic growth planning, and interacting with domestic and foreign institutional investors, which will be instrumental to our market expansion, global distribution of our cloud video hosting platform and services, and raising capital to fund our growth.  In February 2014, he was also appointed as the Company’s president.
		⋅	The Company is in active collaboration with certain telecommunications companies in other countries to resell the Company’s products and services in their respective countries.
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
	The Company has a significant amount of property and equipment primarily consisting of leased equipment. The Company reviews the recoverability of the carrying value of long-lived assets using the methodology prescribed in ASC 360 "Property, Plant and Equipment." The Company reviews our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the undiscounted future net operating cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds their fair value. The Company did not make any impairment for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Basis of Accounting
	The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Utility, Revenue and Expense Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Revenue and Expense Recognition
	Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title transfer has occurred, the price is fixed or readily determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 605, "Revenue Recognition." Sales are recorded net of sales returns and discounts, which are estimated at the time of shipment based upon historical data.
	Revenues from services are recognized when the services are provided. Expenses are recognized as incurred.
	Revenues from fixed-price equipment installation contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method. The percentage completed is measured by the percentage of costs incurred to date to estimated total costs for each contract. This method is used because management considers expended costs to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts. Because of inherent uncertainties in estimating costs and revenues, it is at least reasonably possible that the estimates used will change.
	Contract costs include all direct material, subcontractors, labor costs, and equipment costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Changes in estimated job profitability resulting from job performance, job conditions, contract penalty provisions, claims, change orders, and settlements are accounted for as changes in estimates in the current period. Profit incentives are included in revenues when their realization is reasonably assured. Claims are included in revenues when realization is probable and the amount can be reliably estimated.
Comprehensive Income, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Comprehensive loss
	Comprehensive loss is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income are required to be reported in a financial statement that is presented with the same prominence as other financial statements. The Company’s current component of other comprehensive income is the foreign currency translation adjustment.
Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Concentrations
	Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable.
	Substantially all cash is deposited in two financial institutions, one in the United States and one in Taiwan. At times, amounts on deposit in the United States may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. Deposits in Taiwan financial institutions are insured by CDIC (Central Deposit Insurance Corporation) with maximum coverage of NTD 3 million. At times, amounts on deposit in Taiwan may be in excess of the CDIC Insurance limit.
	Accounts receivable are unsecured and the Company is at risk to the extent such amount becomes uncollectible. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral. Two customers in 2013 represented approximately 54% of total revenues and one customer in 2012 represented approximately 69% of total revenues. The net accounts receivable from this customer was approximately 0% of total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2013. No other customers represented greater than 10% of total revenues in 2013 and 2012.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Intangible Assets and Goodwill
	Intangible assets consist of trademarks and other intangible assets associated with the purchase price allocation of MegaSys.

Future amortization of Trademarks is as follows:
	Trademarks
	2014		$	20,000
	2015		$	20,000
	2016		$	20,000
	2017		$	20,000
	Thereafter		$	66,667
	Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of MegaSys over the net assets acquired.
	We allocate goodwill to reporting units based on the reporting unit expected to benefit from the business combination. We evaluate our reporting units on an annual basis and, if necessary, reassign goodwill using a relative fair value allocation approach. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. These events or circumstances could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, or sale or disposition of a significant portion of a reporting unit.
	Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment. We first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired. If the more likely than not threshold is met, we perform a quantitative impairment test. At December 31, 2013, the Company determined that goodwill was impaired and has recorded an impairment of $841,000.

Temporary differences arise from sales cut-off, depreciation, deferred rent expense, and net operating losses. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that represents the Company's best estimate of such deferred tax assets that, more likely than not, will be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable for the year and the change during the year in deferred tax assets and liabilities. During 2013, the Company reevaluated the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and determined that no current benefits should be recognized for the year ended December 31, 2013 for our U.S. operation. However, a benefit of $160,198 is recorded on the balance sheet for our Taiwan business. See Note 9 for more information.

	Stock-Based Compensation
	On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718, Share-Based Payment , which requires the recognition of an expense related to the fair value of stock-based compensation awards. The Company elected the modified prospective transition method as permitted by ASC 718. Under this transition method, stock-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 includes compensation expense for stock-based compensation granted on or after the date ASC 718 was adopted based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718. The Company recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. The fair value of stock-based compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, were estimated using the “minimum value method” as prescribed by original provisions of ASC 718, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation , therefore, no compensation expense is recognized for these awards in accordance with ASC 718. The Company recognized $336,402 and $248,072 of stock-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments, approximate their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and amounts due to related parties.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	New Accounting Standards
	In March 2013, FASB has issued Accounting   Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830). This ASU resolve the diversity in practice about whether Subtopic   810-10, Consolidation—Overall,    or Subtopic 830-30, Foreign Currency Matters—Translation   of Financial Statements, applies to the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign   entity or no longer holds a controlling   financial   interest in a subsidiary   or group of assets that is a nonprofit   activity or a business   (other than a   sale of in substance  real estate   or conveyance   of oil and gas   mineral   rights)within a   foreign entity. In addition, the amendments in this Update resolve the diversity   in practice for the treatment of business combinations achieved in stages (sometimes   also referred to as step acquisitions)   involving a foreign entity. This ASU is the final version of Proposed Accounting   Standards Update EITF11Ar—Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830), which has been deleted.   The amendments in this Update are effective   prospectively   for fiscal years (and interim reporting   periods within those years) beginning   after December 15, 2013. For nonpublic entities the amendments in this Update   are effective prospectively for the first annual period beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim and annual periods thereafter. The amendments should be applied prospectively to derecognition events occurring after the effective date. Prior periods should not be adjusted. Early adoption is permitted. If an entity elects to early adopt the amendments, it should apply them as of the beginning of the entity’s fiscal year of adoption.
	In February 2013, FASB issued Accounting   Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-03, Financial Instruments (Topic 825). This ASU clarifies the scope and applicability   of a disclosure exemption   that resulted from the issuance of Accounting   Standards Update No. 2011-04,Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The amendment clarifies that the requirement to disclose "the level of the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurements are categorized   in their entirety (Level 1, 2, or 3)" does not apply to nonpublic entities for items that are not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position, but for which fair value is disclosed. This ASU is the final version of Proposed Accounting   Standards Update 2013-200—Financial Instruments (Topic 825) which has been deleted. The amendments are effective upon issuance.
	In February 2013, FASB has issued Accounting   Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This ASU improves the transparency of reporting these reclassifications. Other comprehensive income includes gains and losses that are initially excluded from net income for an accounting   period.   Those gains and losses are later reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into net income. The amendments in this ASU do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. All of the information   that this ASU requires already is required to be disclosed elsewhere in the financial   statements under U.S. GAAP.
	The new amendments will require an organization to:
		•	Present (either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes) the effects on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income - but only if the item reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period.
		•	Cross-reference to other disclosures currently required under U.S. GAAP for other reclassification items (that are not required under U.S.
			GAAP) to be reclassified directly to net income in their entirety in the same reporting  period. This would  be the case when a portion  of the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income is initially transferred to a balance sheet account (e.g., inventory  for pension-related amounts) instead of directly to income or expense.
	The amendments apply to all public and private companies that report items of other comprehensive income. Public companies are required to comply with these amendments for all reporting periods (interim and annual). A private company is required to meet the reporting requirements of the amended paragraphs about the roll forward of accumulated other comprehensive income   for both interim and annual reporting   periods. However, private companies are only required to provide the information   about the effect of reclassifications on line items of net income for annual reporting periods, not for interim reporting periods. The amendments are effective   for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, for public companies and are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, for private companies. Early adoption is permitted.
	In January   2013, FASB has issued Accounting    Standards Update   (ASU) No. 2013-01,   Balance   Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting   Assets and Liabilities. This ASU clarifies   that ordinary trade receivables and receivables are not in the scope of ASU No. 2011-11,   Balance   Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures   about Offsetting   Assets   and Liabilities. Specifically, ASU 2011-11 applies   only to derivatives,   repurchase agreements and reverse purchase agreements, and securities borrowing   and securities lending   transactions that are either offset in accordance with specific criteria contained in the FASB Accounting   Standards Codification(TM) (Codification) or subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The FASB undertook this clarification project in response to concerns expressed by U.S. stakeholders about the standard’s broad definition of financial instruments. After the standard was finalized, companies realized that many contracts have standard commercial provisions that would equate to a master netting arrangement, significantly   increasing the cost of compliance at minimal value to financial   statement users. An entity is required to apply the amendments in ASU 2013-01 for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity should provide the required disclosures retrospectively   for all comparative periods presented. The effective date is the same as the effective   date of ASU 2011-11.
	In October 2012, FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2012-04, Technical Corrections and Improvements. This ASU make technical corrections, clarifications, and limited-scope improvements to various Topics throughout the Codification. The amendments in this ASU that will not have transition guidance will be effective upon issuance for both public entities and nonpublic entities. For public entities, the amendments that are subject to the transition guidance will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. For nonpublic entities, the amendments that are subject to the transition guidance will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
	In August 2012, FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2012-03, Technical Amendments and Corrections to SEC Sections. This ASU amends various SEC paragraphs pursuant to SAB 114, SEC Release No. 33-9250, and ASU 2010-22, which amend or rescind portions of certain SAB Topics. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
	In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. The objective of the measure is to reduce the cost and complexity associated with performing an impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets and to make the impairment test similar to the recent changes for testing goodwill for impairment (ASU 2011-08). ASU 2012-02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012 and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
