Interesting and a story I hear often. There was a day that no badge meant no decent work. Think that ship has sailed. So far this year we have done 2 jobs that needed any approval. At £40k though it was worth SSAIB fees to get it.

Bulk of what we do, no one cares.

Super successful alarms inspection board wouldn't be so successful without recruitment of companies :)

We had issues at first as people thought SSAIB badge was like SIA but once we educated them and explained we setting our own high standards people soon understand

 I think my company got loads of BS certificates.   Our work can be inspected at random by some Standards guy and we been pulled up for not using enough or not enough cable clips to which they are THAT fussy.

I don't think you need SIA licence to install CCTV but to Watch if your not paid directly by company you need a SIA Licence. 

 

I must admit I spend most my days installing CCTV system to companies which many are just updating their systems from older systems.   I do have to laugh at some comments like today I had one which said 'Client asked for Camera in Changing Room.  DO NOT INSTALL CAMERA IN CHANGING ROOM'

Your safe form sia, I'm not :)

How are you not safe from SIA,   I know our response team need SIA Licence for some reason.   again not my area of expertise

I have an arc and arcs are required to hold sia as it is a licensable activity although after all this time the sia has decided rvrcs only need a security guarding license rather than public space CCTV that we all spent years getting.
