Retail Outlets
Most of the security regulations are common sense practices that any cash based business with highly
resalable goods with a high street value would voluntarily put in place. For example, cannabis retail
outlets need to be protected by security cameras in much the same way as high street banks, jewelers
or pawn shops. However in the US state laws determine the type of security camera’s deployed as well
as the time that video must be retained some are 30 days but some states demand a retention time off
one year. In this case the need for HD cameras covering every exit and entrance and the storage of the
video streams is a significant burden as now the cash, cannabis and the VDRs need to be secured.
