jtetterton 0 Posted April 14, 2012 In my state, it costs 850 to register for a license to install or service "electronic security equipment". That covers the first two years. A 2 year renewal after that costs 500 dollars. These fees are used for extensive background investigations. Employees of the applicant company are also required to obtain a license if they will have "intimate knowledge" of a customers electronic security equipment, including location of equipment, design of system, location of wiring, passwords, etc. So if your local agency that does the licensing does more than rubber stamp it, it will weed out most of the riffraff.

Soundy 1 Posted April 16, 2012 I've never been told I need one... couldn't tell you if the company has something other than a standard business license. From what I can tell reading that website, they're mainly referring to physical security (guards, dogs, patrols, etc.) and alarm installations, which do require a qualified alarm installer, because alarm systems are considered to involve life-safety matters.

Did you see the http://www.pssg.gov.bc.ca/securityindustry/require-licence/index.htm Closed Circuit Television Installer Provides a service of selling, supplying, providing advice on, servicing or installing any closed circuit television equipment, device or system. So acord to what I read if you install or deal with anything cctv related you need to have one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
