Maryland’s current Video Surveillance requirements require a complete and secure system, with on and off-site recording. The System requirements are similar to those you would find in recreational states, which ensures that all areas where Marijuana is grown, exchanged, or destroyed are properly monitored and secure for Patients, Doctors, and Suppliers. We invite you to get to know us and get to know cannabis security compliance for free by downloading a copy of our free cannabis compliance ebook. As of November 8th, 2016 recreational and medical marijuana are both legal in Nevada. When the law goes into effect, Recreational users who are 21 years of age or older will legally be able to purchase up to 1 ounce of cannabis flower at a time. Currently, Medical Marijuana users who are 18 years and older with a valid medical card can purchase cannabis legally in Nevada. The details on Nevada’s recreational cannabis are still in process, and at this time a handful of licensed medical dispensaries are now open for business to medically approved users.

Resolution requirements for the cannabis program call for high-quality HD video capable of capturing facial details. Security Cameras are also required to be able to record by motion detection, to ensure any movement within range is automatically recorded and stored. Security Cameras should be placed to capture activity at each entry and exit point of the location. Surveillance cameras are also required in all areas where medical cannabis is packaged, tested, processed, stored and dispensed.

The system is required to operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year without interruption with accurate date and time stamps. For this, we highly recommend that the site’s system be supplied with a battery backup in case of a power outage. Recorded video must also be retained for a minimum of 30 days. Off-site and on-location recording is also required.

Access to the video security system for Maryland Medical Marijuana should be restricted and limited to the property owner and trusted staff members. Law enforcement and the commission also must be allowed access to the location’s video security equipment when requested.

As Maryland continues to make headway in there medical cannabis program, Security Camera King is here to extend our expertise on security camera compliance. We have been securing the cannabis industry since 2012 and look forward to providing quality security camera systems to medical cannabis institutions of all sizes.
