Hikvision Makes Compliance Fast, Easy, Effective and Affordable in all U.S. States

You may have heard that the state of California implemented a law in effect January 1, 2024 outlining a new set of surveillance guidelines for firearm retailers. Integrators who work across the U.S. can leverage these standards and Hikvision equipment to provide retail solutions that boost security for firearm dealers. Often, regulations in states like California become a benchmark for other states.

The CA law set these new requirements:

1. Maintain one year of video and audio recordings
2. Continuous 24-hour surveillance
3. Video surveillance is required for all interior entries and exits, all firearm display locations, all points of sale
