Understanding SIRA
What is SIRA approval in Dubai?
The Security Industry Regulatory Agency (SIRA) is the Dubai Government entity that regulates, licenses and oversees the private security sector. ‘SIRA approval’, or SIRA CCTV approval, usually means the certificates SIRA issues for a premises; buying a CCTV system does not produce them on its own.
- 01
Security Plan Certification
SIRA’s approval of the security system plan for important facilities and buildings, issued as the Security Plan Certificate (SPC) and stamped by both the security consultancy and the security systems installation company.
- 02
Security audit
SIRA’s on-site check of the installed system against the requirements. A successful Security Audit Report is needed for certification.
- 03
Security System Certification
SIRA’s certificate that a facility conforms to its security specifications and requirements. SIRA states that the activity must not be carried out until a successful security audit report is obtained.
- 04
Issued by SIRA, supported by AMSS
SIRA approvals and certificates are issued by the Security Industry Regulatory Agency. AMSS provides technical installation and certification-support services within its licensed scope.
SIRA NOC
SIRA NOC for CCTV in Dubai
Many customers searching for CCTV compliance in Dubai use the term ‘SIRA NOC’ or ‘SIRA CCTV NOC’ for the SIRA clearance, certification or approval their premises or licensing process needs. The exact SIRA document or process depends on the business activity, the property and the SIRA service that applies.
A market term, not a service name
SIRA’s services for a premises’ security systems include Security Plans Certification and Security System Certification. Not every CCTV project ends in a document formally named ‘SIRA NOC’.
What the process involves
For CCTV and security-system projects, the official SIRA process may involve Security Plan Certification, a successful Security Audit Report and Security System Certification.
Where AMSS fits
AMSS supports the technical process, from requirements review and any necessary site assessment through installation, audit preparation and certification and NOC coordination. The approval itself is issued by SIRA.
Who needs it
Who needs SIRA CCTV approval in Dubai?
It depends on the business activity, the type of establishment and the SIRA regulations that apply. SIRA publishes the activities that require a security plan, and its trading activities search shows whether an activity falls under its scope. Examples from SIRA’s list:
Residential Buildings
Towers, villa compounds, residential clusters and workers’ residential compounds.
Warehouses & Industrial
Warehouses and warehouse compounds, hazardous or precious substance storage and specified factories.
Retail & High-Value Premises
Gold and jewellery trading, precious goods shops, supermarkets and department stores.
Hospitality & Leisure
Hotels, hotel apartments and guest houses, restaurants, cinemas, theatres, gyms and public pools.
Hospitals & Clinics
Hospitals, convalescent homes and private clinics.
Requirements
SIRA CCTV requirements in Dubai
SIRA sets security requirements by type of activity or building in its Preventive Systems Guide, so the CCTV a premises needs is worked out from its category and the site rather than a standard package. Requirements can depend on:
No single standard system
Coverage, recording and monitoring requirements are set per category, so two businesses in one sector can need different systems.
Confirmed for your premises
We review the requirements for your business activity and premises and, where necessary, confirm the technical conditions on site before finalising the installation scope.
SIRA-approved equipment
SIRA publishes approved lists of cameras, recorders, alarm panels and sensors, and the equipment for your project is checked against them.
The process
How to get SIRA CCTV approval / NOC
The actual regulatory steps vary with the establishment and the type of application, and SIRA’s reviews, audit scheduling and decisions sit outside our control.
- Step 01Review
Initial consultation
We discuss the business activity, the premises and the project stage.
- Step 02Review
Site review, where required
Depending on the enquiry, project stage and existing system, we review the premises and installed security systems on site where a technical assessment is necessary.
- Step 03Review
Requirements review
We identify the SIRA requirements for the activity or building.
- Step 04Plan
Security system planning
Camera positions, coverage, recording and any alarms or access control are planned to those requirements.
- Step 05Coordinate
Security plan coordination
Where a Security Plan Certificate is required, we coordinate installation details with the licensed consultancy preparing it.
- Step 06Install
CCTV & security system installation
Cameras, recorders, cabling and related systems are installed to the approved plan.
- Step 07Test
Testing & commissioning
Every device is configured and tested, and the system is commissioned.
- Step 08Prepare
Audit preparation
Checks and records are completed before SIRA’s security audit.
- Step 09Rectify
Rectification
Technical observations from the audit are rectified within our scope.
- Step 10Support

Installation
SIRA CCTV installation & system commissioning
For SIRA CCTV installation in Dubai, systems are installed to the approved plan and the requirements for the activity, then configured, tested and commissioned by one team.
CCTV cameras & recording
Cameras, recorders and storage installed to the coverage in the approved plan. See how we approach CCTV installation in Dubai.
Network & structured cabling
The structured cabling and network switches that connect and power IP cameras and recorders.

Commissioning & records
The complete system is commissioned against the approved plan, with the test records the audit needs.
Audit & certification
SIRA CCTV inspection, audit & certification
Certification follows a successful security audit. Our part is getting the installed system ready and closing out what the audit raises.
- 01
Pre-audit checks
Each camera’s view, recording, playback and storage is checked, alarm and access devices are tested, and the system is compared with the approved plan.
- 02
The security audit
SIRA’s security audit is linked to issuing or renewing a certificate, and SIRA coordinates scheduled audits with the facility in advance. AMSS prepares the system; it does not carry out the audit.
- 03
Observations & rectification
If the audit raises technical observations, we rectify them within our scope and support the system through SIRA’s follow-up steps.
- 04
Certification & later inspections
With the approved SPC and a successful Security Audit Report, Security System Certification is applied for through SIRA’s e-services portal. SIRA may also make inspection visits after licensing, which can be unannounced.
Existing systems
Existing CCTV systems & SIRA compliance
Many premises already have cameras and a recorder. Some equipment can stay; some may need upgrading, repositioning or replacing, which a review of the existing system confirms, on site where necessary.
Inspect and identify gaps
We check coverage, camera positions, image quality, recording, storage and the network against the requirements that apply, and list what falls short.
Upgrade what is needed
Cameras can be added, repositioned or replaced and recorders or storage upgraded, keeping equipment that is still suitable.
Prepare for the audit
The upgraded system is tested and prepared for SIRA’s security audit along with the other certification steps.
Maintenance
SIRA CCTV maintenance & AMC
A certified system has to keep working, and renewing a Security System Certification requires a successful security audit report.
- 01
Preventive maintenance
Planned visits to check, clean and adjust cameras, recorders, alarm and access devices before faults leave gaps in coverage.
- 02
Recording, storage & network checks
Recording schedules, storage capacity, playback and the network behind the cameras are checked.
- 03
Technical support & AMC
Faults are traced and repaired, and systems can be maintained under an Annual Maintenance Contract. See our CCTV maintenance and AMC services in Dubai.
