Zane Wave manages the complete SIRA CCTV project lifecycle — site survey, system design, SVG drawing submission, equipment installation and final SIRA approval — for commercial, residential and government properties across Dubai.

Quick Answer

SIRA CCTV project design and installation covers the full process required to get a compliant surveillance system approved in Dubai — site survey, camera and coverage design, SVG (Scalable Vector Graphic) drawing submission, equipment installation, and final SIRA approval. Zane Wave Security Systems, SIRA-approved and operating in Dubai since 1988, manages every stage of this process for commercial, residential and government properties.

Site Survey & Design

Every project starts with a proper survey and SVG drawing, not a generic camera package.

SIRA-Approved Equipment

Cameras and recorders sourced from SIRA-approved brands, sized to your property's coverage needs.

Full Approval Support

We manage submission and inspection through to final SIRA sign-off, not just the installation.

Understanding the Service

What Is SIRA CCTV Project Design and Installation?

A regulated process, not just a camera installation — here's what's actually involved.

SIRA CCTV project design and installation Dubai

Site Survey

Assessing entrances, risk zones and coverage requirements before any design work begins

SVG Drawing

A Scalable Vector Graphic layout showing camera placement, submitted for SIRA review

Approved Equipment

Cameras, NVRs and recorders sourced from SIRA-approved brands and specifications

Final Certification

Inspection and sign-off, including Security Plan Certification (SPC) where applicable

Unlike a standalone camera installation, a SIRA-compliant CCTV project is regulated by the Security Industry Regulatory Agency (SIRA), the Dubai Government body established under Dubai Law No. 12 of 2016 to oversee the private security sector.

Technology We Use

Camera Types We Use in SIRA CCTV Projects

Camera selection depends on the location, coverage need and lighting conditions — not a one-size-fits-all package.

IP Cameras

Transmit digital video over the network, providing high-resolution surveillance for modern commercial sites

Outdoor Cameras

Selected for environmental conditions, mounting location and lighting to hold up in Dubai's climate

PTZ Cameras

Pan-tilt-zoom cameras for flexible monitoring of larger areas needing controlled movement and zoom

AI CCTV Cameras

Intelligent cameras with object, people and vehicle detection analytics, depending on the approved configuration

Know Before You Start

SIRA Compliance Explained

A short, plain-language look at what SIRA is and why it matters for your CCTV project.

SIRA CCTV compliance Dubai

SIRA, SPC & SVG — Explained Simply

The Security Industry Regulatory Agency (SIRA) was established under Dubai Law No. 12 of 2016 to regulate the private security sector, including CCTV systems, taking over responsibilities previously held by Dubai Police's Department of Protective Systems. Applicable facilities are required to submit an SVG (Scalable Vector Graphic) drawing showing camera coverage as part of the approval process, and may also require Security Plan Certification (SPC) confirming the installed system conforms to SIRA's specifications. Zane Wave manages this entire process — survey, design, submission and installation — so the property owner doesn't have to navigate it alone.

Solutions By Facility

Solutions by Facility Type

Every facility type has different security requirements — a school's security plan looks nothing like a warehouse's.

Schools

Protecting students, staff and campus access

A school security design typically covers the main entrance, vehicle gates, pedestrian entrances, reception, corridors, emergency exits, parking and outdoor activity areas — planned around the school's specific layout and applicable requirements for educational facilities.

Hospitals

Continuous surveillance for high-traffic, sensitive sites

Hospitals operate around the clock and contain sensitive areas, valuable equipment and high visitor traffic. Coverage typically spans entrances, parking areas, corridors and service entrances, with the design balancing effective monitoring against patient and staff privacy.

Office Buildings

Protecting employees, visitors and business operations

A typical office security solution includes cameras at entrances, reception, parking facilities, elevators, corridors and emergency exits, often paired with employee and visitor access control depending on the building's requirements.

Commercial Buildings

Multi-layered security for malls, warehouses and mixed-use sites

Shopping centers, business parks, warehouses and mixed-use developments often need multi-layered security — combining CCTV surveillance, access control, ANPR and centralized monitoring into one coordinated environment.

Integration

Integration with Access Control & Gate Barriers

CCTV works best as part of a coordinated system, not in isolation.

CCTV can be integrated with access control, ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) and gate barriers to create a coordinated vehicle and security management system. A typical vehicle entry flow works like this: the vehicle approaches the entrance, CCTV captures the surrounding area, ANPR identifies the number plate where applicable, the access-control system evaluates authorization, and the gate barrier opens for an authorized vehicle before closing behind it — with the event recorded for security and operational monitoring.

ANPR

Automatic Number Plate Recognition for employee, visitor and restricted vehicle management

Gate Barriers

Automatic vehicle entry and exit control, integrated with CCTV and access credentials

Access Control

RFID cards, biometric readers and mobile credentials tied into the same security workflow

Intruder Alarms

Alarm systems layered on top of CCTV coverage for a complete protection plan

For projects that need dedicated barrier and ANPR-based vehicle management, see our Parking Management System service.

Can an existing CCTV system be upgraded to meet SIRA compliance?
Yes, existing systems can be assessed and upgraded, including equipment, cabling and design, to bring them in line with current SIRA requirements.
How long does SIRA CCTV project design and installation take?
Timelines vary by property size and scope, but a typical project from site survey through to SIRA approval is planned and communicated clearly at the start of the engagement.
What is Security Plan Certification (SPC)?

What is ANPR and can it be integrated with my CCTV system?
ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) uses specialized cameras and software to identify vehicle registration plates, and can be integrated with a CCTV project's access management system where appropriate.
Can CCTV be integrated with gate barriers and access control?
Yes, CCTV can be integrated with gate barriers, ANPR and access control to create a coordinated vehicle and security management system rather than operating each system independently.
