Hello BP Tax Experts!

My wife and I are in the process of getting our house ready to be used as a rental.  All inspections are done and we have our rental business license for the house.  We will be relocating to our new primary in about 2 months.

We are installing a security camera system for the property.  Is this tax deductible?  We will be here for about a month or two before the renters move in.  Any insight regarding taxes is greatly appreciated.  Thank you!
