				  theft or loss of cannabis and/or medical cannabis products, utilizing
				  commercial grade equipment, which shall, at a minimum, include:

				  an internal designee and a third-party commercial central monitoring station
				  when intrusion is detected;
(2)
				  video cameras in all areas that may contain cannabis or medical cannabis
				  products, all surveillance areas or rooms and at all points of entry and exit,
				  which shall be appropriate for the normal lighting conditions of the area under
				  surveillance. The manufacturing facility or dispensing site shall direct
				  cameras at all areas where cannabis or medical cannabis product is being
				  handled, stored or disposed. At entry and exit points, the manufacturing
				  facility or dispensing site shall angle cameras to allow for the capture of
				  clear and certain identification of any person entering or exiting the
				  facility;
(3) continuous recordings
				  during hours of operation and at any time that cannabis or medical cannabis
				  product, in any form is handled, and motion activated recordings at all other
				  times, from all video cameras, which the manufacturing facility or dispensing
				  site shall make available via remote access or login credentials for immediate
				  viewing by the Office or the Office's authorized representative upon request
				  and shall be retained for at least sixty (60) days. The registered organization
				  shall provide the Office with an unaltered copy of such recording upon request.
				  If a registered organization is aware of a pending criminal, civil or
				  administrative investigation or legal proceeding for which a recording may
				  contain relevant information, the registered organization shall retain an
				  unaltered copy of the recording until the investigation or proceeding is closed
				  or the entity conducting the investigation or proceeding notifies the
				  registered organization that it is not necessary to retain the recording, but
				  in no event for less than sixty (60) days;
(4) failure notification system that provides
				  an audible text or visual notification of any failure in the surveillance
				  system. The failure notification system shall provide an alert to the
				  registered organization's designated representative(s) within five (5) minutes
				  of the failure, either by telephone, e-mail, or text message;
(5) the ability to immediately produce a
				  clear color still photo from any camera image (live or recorded);
(6) a date and time stamp embedded on all
				  recordings. The date and time shall be synchronized and set correctly and shall
				  not significantly obscure the picture; and
(7) the ability for the security alarms and
				  video surveillance system to remain operational during a power outage for a
				  minimum of eight (8) hours.
