SIRA Compliance: What Dubai Villa Owners Must Have
SIRA, the Security Industry Regulatory Agency under Dubai Police, sets the technical floor for every CCTV system in the emirate: minimum Full HD resolution, IP66 weather rating on outdoor cameras, and 30 days of continuous recording on a local NVR. Installers must hold a Tier-1 or Tier-2 SIRA licence; the homeowner does not, but the system must be installed by a licensed company to be admissible if Dubai Police request footage.
On a villa, that translates into camera placement that respects neighbouring property lines, no audio recording in shared spaces, and signed-off documentation that we keep on file alongside the project drawings. We submit the design to SIRA on your behalf as part of the install package, so handover comes with a compliance record rather than an open question.
