Under Law No. 12 of 2016, it establishes and regularly updates security standards, licenses security service providers and regulates specified security devices and equipment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The requirements apply to relevant establishments and security service providers operating within Dubai. SIRA is responsible for monitoring the compliance of the technical specifications of the preventive security systems that include CCTV and other electronic security methods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The existing technical framework operates under the Preventive Systems Manual that was approved through Administrative Resolution No. 13 of 2025. The manual specifies the minimum technical specifications and requirements that should be implemented in the establishments regulated by these rules.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Updated_Camera_Technical_Requirements\"><b>Updated Camera &amp; Technical Requirements<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The current SIRA requirements cover more than camera resolution. Image quality, outdoor protection, recording performance, network design and storage all form part of a compliant CCTV installation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Minimum_Resolution_Requirements\"><b>Minimum Resolution Requirements<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SIRA requires cameras to provide at least 1080p Full HD resolution. Recording devices must also support at least 1080p Full HD recording, while single-camera live viewing must provide at least 1080p Full HD. Live viewing must operate at a minimum of 25 frames per second per camera.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The manual also specifies a minimum 48 dB signal-to-noise ratio. For identification applications, exceptional cases may require at least 300 pixels per metre, subject to SIRA approval. This shows why camera positioning and image quality are just as important as megapixel ratings.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Weatherproofing_Build_Standards\"><b>Weatherproofing &amp; Build Standards<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Outdoor cameras or their enclosures must have a minimum IP66 rating for continuous operation in outdoor environments. Cameras facing direct or reflected natural or artificial light must also provide WDR of at least 110 dB or equivalent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where cameras are installed at a height of 4 metres or above, they must have remote zoom and focus capabilities. Cameras must also be designed for continuous operation and should not be concealed from view.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Network_System_Standards\"><b>Network &amp; System Standards<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SIRA requirements also address the supporting network infrastructure. Security systems must use a dedicated private network, with appropriate redundancy and resilience. Where more than 200 devices are connected, network management and segmentation requirements become particularly important.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recording systems must be capable of handling live viewing, recording and playback simultaneously without negatively affecting performance. Recording devices must also have 20% additional capacity, while recorded footage should be transferable to standard storage media.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Storage_Retention_Data_Security\"><b>Storage, Retention &amp; Data Security<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recording retention depends on the applicable facility and requirements. The current SIRA manual specifies, in its general recording requirements, no less than 31 days for the specified non-continuous recording configuration, together with minimum recording performance requirements. Certain sectors can have longer retention periods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Businesses should therefore calculate storage based on camera count, resolution, frame rate, recording mode and the retention period applicable to their facility. Access to security systems should also be restricted to authorised personnel to reduce the risk of tampering or unauthorised access.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Compliance_Process_and_Who_Needs_to_Comply\"><b>Compliance Process and Who Needs to Comply<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SIRA compliance is particularly relevant to establishments covered by Dubai&#8217;s preventive security requirements, including specified vital sectors, important complexes and other regulated facilities. The applicable requirements depend on the type and use of the premises.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Sectors_Required_to_Install_Compliant_CCTV\"><b>Sectors Required to Install Compliant CCTV<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The following types of establishments commonly fall within SIRA&#8217;s CCTV requirements:<\/p>\n<ul dir=\"ltr\">\n<li>Hotels and serviced apartments<\/li>\n<li>Shopping malls and entertainment centres<\/li>\n<li>Banks and financial institutions<\/li>\n<li>Healthcare facilities<\/li>\n<li>Warehouses and logistics facilities<\/li>\n<li>Petrol\/gas stations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Specific camera locations and viewing requirements vary by sector.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\"><span id=\"Step-by-Step_Approval_Process\"><b>Step-by-Step Approval Process<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-332 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cloudlink.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ChatGPT-Image-Sep-9-2026-09_55_01-AM-1024x512.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cloudlink.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ChatGPT-Image-Sep-9-2026-09_55_01-AM-1024x512.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.cloudlink.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ChatGPT-Image-Sep-9-2026-09_55_01-AM-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/www.cloudlink.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ChatGPT-Image-Sep-9-2026-09_55_01-AM-768x384.png 768w, https:\/\/www.cloudlink.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ChatGPT-Image-Sep-9-2026-09_55_01-AM-380x190.png 380w, https:\/\/www.cloudlink.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ChatGPT-Image-Sep-9-2026-09_55_01-AM.png 1535w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\"><span id=\"Common_Compliance_Mistakes_to_Avoid\">Common Compliance Mistakes to Avoid<\/span><\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Businesses often focus only on purchasing high-resolution cameras, but compliance issues usually come from elsewhere in the system:<\/p>\n<ul dir=\"ltr\">\n<li>Choosing the wrong camera position<\/li>\n<li>Inadequate storage capacity<\/li>\n<li>Poor network design<\/li>\n<li>Unsuitable outdoor equipment<\/li>\n<li>Working with an unlicensed provider<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This is why selecting experienced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cloudlink.ae\/elv-and-large-project-consultation-services.html\">Top ELV companies in Dubai<\/a> is important when designing or upgrading a SIRA-compliant system.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"SIRA_vs_MCCADMCC_8211_A_Common_Confusion_Solved\"><b>SIRA vs. MCC\/ADMCC &#8211; A Common Confusion Solved<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SIRA pertains to security regulations in Dubai, whereas Abu Dhabi complies with its own requirements based on the relevant Abu Dhabi regulatory system.
