Yes, a surveillance system would be 100% deductible. You can use the Section 179 rule to claim it in 2011 rather than depreciating it. You could also use the 100% bonus depreciation rule to claim it this year, as well. If you plan to go out of business in the next 5 years, use the 100% bonus depreciation rule. If your state does not recognize the 100% bonus rule, use the Section 179 rule.
Enter it under "furniture, appliances" on Minute Menu (because it's considered 7 year property).
Well ours is an outdoor security system so I don't know if that would be the same benefit or not.
Same answer, it's deductible. Unless it was purchased specifically for your business, I'd use your time-space%. It didn't make that clear in my earlier answer.
