Text Box: Licensed Contractors: If you are considering the installation of a security alarm or surveillance system be sure to check that the company or sole operator holds a current license to install such equipment in South Australia. If you are unsure, you can easily check by visiting the Office of Consumer and Business Affairs website. The installer should also carry a current security license, this card display’s his license number, validity date and photograph of the holder of the license. http://www.ocba.com.au In addition to this you should also ensure that the installer has a valid and current cabling license, this can be requested as a card type cabling license should be produced on request. Why should a cabler be registered? When having any type of equipment installed that will be connected to the telecommunications network – monitored security alarms, access control systems, closed circuit TV, extra phones, internet connected computers, building automation or smart home systems – it’s essential that the installation, and all after sales service, are performed by a registered cabler. This is because only registered cablers have completed the training and gained the professional experience to deliver the work to the customer’s expectations.

Their registration – evidenced by carrying a current registration card – confirms that they have the knowledge to complete the work to the required industry standards, using only approved, fit-for-purpose product.
So make the sensible decision. Ensure any cabling work you need done is carried out by an appropriately trained, experienced and qualified cabler, and demand proof of their registration.
