Hi, Looking to maybe start a security / video surveillance company in the US (just the security surveillance monitoring not installation). Do you know if I need to get licensed by any State/City governments to provide this service? Also if any regulations I need to watch out for? Would welcome any information (books, web sites...) that you think I should read up on this if any. thanks, John

Thanks for the reply. From Wikipedia I found the different state rules / regulations for security guards. Not sure if it applies also to those that do the remote monitoring on surveillance cameras. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_guard John
