The Security Industry Regulatory Agency (SIRA) is in charge of all security surveillance systems in Dubai since keeping commercial, industrial, and public locations secure is very important. Before you may start using CCTV cameras in your business or on high-risk property, you must have SIRA approval.
A SIRA-approved CCTV system makes sure that your setup meets government regulations for quality, installation, storage, and remote access. If you don’t acquire SIRA clearance, you could face fines, delays in getting your license, or even breaking the law. We help businesses and property owners with every step of the SIRA approval procedure at Artek Computer LLC. This includes getting clearance for the design and configuration of the CCTV system, as well as installation, inspection, and certification.
This in-depth blog post goes over the steps you need to take to acquire SIRA’s approval for your CCTV system.
Before you start, you need to know what SIRA needs for any CCTV installation in Dubai. The rules are different for each type of property (retail, warehouse, residential, clinic, school, etc.), but here are some things that are usually required:
Important Requirements:
At least one camera should cover each entry/exit point, cash register, parking lot, elevator, and so on.
SIRA also says where cameras should be placed, how high they should be, and how to get rid of blind spots.
At this point, Artek does a site survey and sends you a full report that explains what has to be done at your location.
Not every installer of CCTV is qualified to submit or carry out a SIRA-compliant project. SIRA says that only companies that have been approved and qualified can install surveillance systems.
That’s when Artek Computer LLC comes in. We are a Dubai-based CCTV company that has been approved by SIRA and is registered with the government.
We install every camera, wire, and system part exactly like SIRA says to, so they won’t be rejected during inspection.
Before putting in the system, you need to make a complete Security System Design (SSD Layout) and send it to SIRA through their e-system. What the arrangement includes:
Our engineers at Artek make the SSD layout and send it to you for approval, making sure it meets all the latest standards.
You can start the actual installation once the layout is authorized, but you must follow the design exactly as it was approved.
This includes:
Our trained and authorized professionals at Artek will install according to the approved SIRA layout, so there won’t be any problems during the inspection phase.
We set up a physical SIRA inspection at your site when the installation is done. A SIRA inspector will come to check the following:
