What is SIRA & Why it Matters for CCTV Installation?

SIRA (Security Industry Regulatory Agency) is the governing body that coordinates with Dubai Police to regulate security services and installations, including surveillance systems. The SIRA Preventive Systems Manual clearly defines the specific CCTV requirements necessary for security compliance in Dubai.

SIRA guidelines require businesses to work with SIRA approved CCTV companies who help meet mandatory technical standards, AMC obligations and VideoGuard or eGuard connectivity. Non-compliant CCTV systems may cause fines and legal actions during trade license renewal or regulatory review.
