Surveillance.
Professional CCTV installation in Dubai — SIRA-compliant AI surveillance, facial recognition, ANPR, intrusion analytics, 24/7 monitoring for villas, buildings and campuses.
Surveillance, intelligent.What is cctv installation & ai surveillance?
CCTV installation in Dubai is the design, supply and installation of IP security cameras, AI surveillance, recording and monitoring — fully SIRA-compliant for villas, buildings, commercial premises and campuses across the UAE.
CCTV in Dubai is regulated by SIRA, the Security Industry Regulatory Agency, and most commercial and many residential properties have specific compliance requirements. Smart Citizens is a SIRA-authorized installer delivering modern IP CCTV across villas, towers, malls, schools, clinics and campuses. Our systems use AI-powered analytics — person, vehicle, package and animal detection — to drastically cut false alerts, plus optional facial recognition, ANPR and 24/7 monitoring. Footage is stored on-premise, in private cloud or hybrid, and every camera is viewable live from the Smart Citizens App.
