An alarm system which creates a sound that can be heard by persons outside the building, structure or facility which is protected by such alarm system.

No person, firm, corporation or other entity shall engage in, manage, conduct or operate an alarm business in the City of Camden without having first obtained a license to do so.
The application forms will be supplied by the City Clerk. The application must state the type of alarm or alarms merchandised and/or installed and the general plan of operations of this alarm business.
The application must meet the approval of the Chief of Police. Upon such approval, a license will be issued by the City Clerk.
The fee for a license to conduct an alarm business is $70.
No person engaged in an alarm business and no alarm agent shall receive a license under this chapter if such person or alarm agent has been convicted of a felony which relates adversely to the operation of an alarm business or is a known habitual user of narcotics, hallucinogenics, alcohol or other immobilizing drugs. This information will be supplied in the application forms for a license to conduct an alarm business.
In reviewing the application, the Chief of Police will take into consideration the factors enumerated in N.J.S.A. 2A:168A-2, and if the application is denied for reasons within this section, the Chief of Police shall so state, in writing, with the reasons for the denial.
