Frequently Asked Questions: CCTV in Dubai

Is CCTV mandatory for businesses in Dubai?

Yes. Dubai Municipality requires CCTV for most commercial premises as part of building permit and trade licence conditions. SIRA (Security Industry Regulatory Agency) regulates security systems in Dubai — including CCTV — and requires installation by licensed security systems contractors. NetOn Technologies is a licensed security systems provider in Dubai.

How many CCTV cameras does my Dubai office need?

The number depends on your premises size and Dubai Municipality requirements. A typical 1,000 sqft office requires 4–8 cameras. NetOn Technologies conducts a free site survey and provides a Dubai Municipality compliant design showing camera locations, coverage zones and system specification.

How long is CCTV footage stored in Dubai?

Dubai regulations typically require CCTV footage to be stored for a minimum of 30 days. NetOn Technologies sizes NVR storage accordingly — typically 1–3 TB depending on camera count, resolution and motion-activated vs continuous recording settings.
