# ICASA Registration

A distributed CCTV network will require us to use wifi (wireless networking) in order to connect up the camera's.

Within South Africa, all use of radio frequencies for transmission is governed by an organization called ICASA.

ICASA rules require that all wireless installations that cross public roads or exceed certain transmission requirements procure a suitable licence or apply for an exemption.

As we intend that the De Oude Weg Neighbourhood Watch becomes a legally registered non-profit, we can register for an exemption license using ICASA's Form M.

**Form M** - <http://deoudeweg.co.za/pdf/Form-M-Licence-Exemptions-Services-and-Networks.pdf>

*One caveat; we cannot proceed with this application until we have a Section 21 Non Profit registered.*

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://www.deoudeweg.co.za/chapter1/icasa_registration.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
