Security and the law: Follow Regulations Everywhere You Do Business,
Third-party companies who provide monitoring services across state lines must become familiar with the laws of each jurisdiction in which they provide service. Various jurisdictions require companies doing only monitoring to obtain a license in their jurisdiction.
Others may only require some type of notification, and others may not require any licensing or notification at all. It is important to maintain a separate business license in each local city or county jurisdiction where required. Additionally, if the company is a corporation, it may be required to qualify as a foreign corporation in the other states in which it does business.
