A dispensary isn't ordinary retail. You're cash-heavy, you hold high-value inventory that's a target inside and out, and one gap in your camera coverage can mean a fine, a suspension, or a lost license. Denver Secure builds dispensary surveillance that does two jobs at once: deter and document theft, and satisfy every line of the Colorado MED rulebook.
Colorado requires a minimum 40-day footage retention, continuous 24/7 recording of all limited-access areas, and cameras placed to clearly identify anyone within 20 feet of every entrance and exit. We design to exactly that — including the rule changes effective January 5, 2026. One call to Owen at (720) 320-2899 gets a free walk-through of your floor plan and a layout built to pass.
One System, Every Area the MED Checks
We map cameras to your actual floor plan — nothing required is missed, nothing unnecessary runs up your cost.
Sales Floor & Point of Sale
Clear facial-identification coverage at every register and across the retail floor — the areas inspectors look at first, and where most internal shrink happens.
Vault & Limited-Access Storage
Continuous 24/7 recording of every limited-access area, exactly as the MED requires, with tamper-proof archiving that holds up as evidence.
Entrances, Exits & Perimeter
Identification-grade coverage within 20 feet of every door, plus exterior views of all points of ingress and egress — the line items that fail the most inspections.
Parking Lot & After-Hours
Wide-area lot coverage with AI alerts and live deterrents for after-close break-ins — plus a mobile surveillance trailer option for sites that need temporary or overflow coverage.
Built to Pass, Not Just to Record
Most systems get installed once and forgotten — until an inspection notice lands, or footage has quietly deleted before regulators are done with it. Denver Secure designs to current MED rules, documents the layout for inspectors, and watches for outages before the four-hour reporting window closes.

Dispensary Security FAQ — Denver, CO
Straight answers to the questions Denver dispensary owners ask most about MED camera compliance.
How long must a Colorado dispensary keep security camera footage?
At least 40 days. All recordings must be stored digitally, time-stamped, and kept in a tamper-proof format that's easy to access for review by the MED or law enforcement.
What areas does Colorado's MED require dispensary cameras to cover?
All limited-access areas, every point of sale, all areas where marijuana is displayed for sale, and every point of entry and exit — inside and to the building exterior. Limited-access areas must be recorded continuously, 24 hours a day.
What camera resolution does a dispensary need?
Cameras must clearly identify any individual within 20 feet of every entrance and exit. In practice that means 1080p as a baseline, with higher resolution at registers and doorways where identification matters most.
Did Colorado change its dispensary surveillance rules in 2026?
Yes — MED rule revisions effective January 5, 2026 reduced the number of areas requiring continuous surveillance, which can simplify systems and lower cost. Denver Secure designs to the current rules so you're not over-covering areas that no longer require it.
How much does a dispensary security system cost in Denver?
