Video Surveillance and the Cannabis Industry

With the Cannabis industry gaining ground and further government regulations being established, Cannabis growers are falling under addition scrutiny as never before. Video surveillance systems are being installed at record numbers to all licensees who have facilities to grow, store, pack and even loading and unloading in areas of buildings were cannabis products will be distributed. These security video applications are State mandated to protect these drugs from being acquired illegally. These laws hold true in both Florida and Georgia where Cannabis or marijuana medicinal use has been legalized. ESI, Emergency Systems Inc. is a commercial security alarm company servicing all of the North Florida and South Georgia markets where these business activities are taking place. It is estimated that by 2021, almost 32 billion dollars will be spent on cannabis products across the United States. In just 2019 alone, both medicinal and recreation Cannabis use, involving many states, has accounted for over 24 billion dollars’ worth of business. While there are many different regulatory and compliance laws that vary by state, the minimum-security requirements mandate that all Cannabis licensees have immediate access to surveillance recordings of their facilities. The amount of video surveillance equipment needed depends on the size, structure, number of exits of both the growing and distribution facilities. Additionally, these Cannabis businesses are required to install professional grade surveillance systems only commercial video can provide. Images must be clear in surveillance areas and records of these recordings kept for up to in some states 90 days. ESI specializes in video surveillance equipment for the cannabis industry and has installed video systems all across the tri-state area.
