What security equipment do cannabis facilities need?

Most cannabis facilities need high-resolution cameras with recording that meets state retention periods, access control with logging, commercial alarms with continuous monitoring, and secure storage for product and cash. We design and install systems that meet your state's requirements, fit your operations and protect the facility.

Security cameras at a cannabis facility

Equipment we install

  • HD and 4K surveillance cameras that meet state surveillance rules
  • DVR and NVR recording systems sized for your state’s retention period (commonly 30 to 90 days)
  • Access control systems with badge readers and logging
  • Commercial alarm systems with continuous monitoring
  • Motion sensors and perimeter detection
  • Safes and vaults
  • Panic buttons and duress systems
  • Intercom and visitor management systems

Installation is carried out under the Security Buds name by our licensed security partner, with other licensed installers brought in where a location calls for it.

How we work

  1. Site assessment

    We evaluate the facility layout, your state’s requirements and your operating needs.

  2. System design

    We produce camera placement maps, equipment specifications and network design.

  3. Installation

    We install the system with as little disruption to operations as possible.

  4. Training and support

    We train staff to operate the system and provide ongoing maintenance support.

Who it’s for

New facilities preparing for a licensing inspection, operators expanding or reconfiguring space, and facilities whose existing systems no longer meet state rules or have coverage gaps.

Why it matters for cannabis operators

State regulators set specific rules for camera coverage, image quality, recording retention and alarm monitoring, and inspectors check them. Equipment designed to your security plan means what you install matches what you filed.
