CCTV Installer

What Is a CCTV Licence?

A Private Security Authority (PSA) licence is required to install a CCTV system commercially in the Republic of Ireland.

For companies entering the industry for the first time, the first step is to obtain a temporary licence from the PSA. The temporary licence gives contractors the opportunity to install the required number of CCTV systems needed to proceed with certification.

To obtain a temporary licence, you must register with a certification body (the PSA looks for evidence of registration in the application pack).

For contractors looking for a CCTV licence without an Intruder Alarm licence, a minimum of four CCTV systems must be installed in order to proceed with certification. For contractors looking for a licence to install both Intruder Alarm and CCTV systems, it is necessary to install at least four Intruder Alarm systems and two CCTV systems.

Audit Services

To obtain a full licence for CCTV installation, an audit against the requirements of the PSA 74:2019 and PSA 2006:12 standards is necessary. This must be carried out by a PSA-approved certification body.

PSA 74:2019: This standard includes sections on company organisation, including tax clearance and insurance), staffing (including selection and screening of staff), training and operations.

PSA 2006:12: This standard can be downloaded free of charge from the PSA website. Amtivo provides additional guidance and template documents to companies that register for certification.
