Electrical License Requirement in New Jersey

[Jimlyn 0]

Can anyone bring me up to speed on permits and the license requirement for installation of CCTV and burglar alarms in NJ?

 

I presently have an application in with the state of NJ for my "Alarm Installers License" which is now becoming mandatory. I have been told that I will not hear anything untill November due to their backlog.

 

I do not have an "electrical license" and it seems towns are requiring an electrical license for these installations.

 

I have a leasee of a small commercial building wanting a burglar alarm and CCTV switcher installed and apparantly I need a permit but how to handle the possible license requirement.

 

Am I dead in the water? Thanks for the response.

for CCTV, you don't need a licence, but you do for alarms, and any other low voltage job, you need a low-voltage licence, it's called "L6 licence".

 

I'll get more info posted soon.
