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.

Private Security Authority

Who is the PSA?

The Private Security Authority (PSA) is the regulatory body for the private security industry in Ireland. It was established under the Private Security Services Act 2004. The role of the PSA is to improve and maintain standards in the provision of security services in the State by operating a standards-based licensing system.

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.
