California

California requires a state contractor’s license to install video surveillance. The California Contractors State License Board gives contractors a license number and requires them to list it wherever the company name or logo appears.

The qualifying agent must obtain a Low Voltage Systems (C-7) license for CCTV design and a Lock and Security Equipment license (C-28) to install electronic access control. The exams for these licenses are multiple-choice exams, with four answer choices for each question.

In California, all security company employees must pass a background check through the California Department of Justice and the FBI. Qualifying agents must 

have two years of paid experience installing burglar alarms or video surveillance systems and pass an examination on California law.
