How to Choose the right Surveillance systems solutions provider

There are a large number of CCTV installation companies in Dubai offering a variety of services within the region with dozens of product options and prices. It is important to consider some factors when you're choosing a CCTV installation provider in Dubai.

Identifying your specific requirements is the first step towards choosing the right CCTV installation services provider. Start by considering the essential parameters you would want from your surveillance system such as type of system, coverage area, type of camera per location, environmental constraints, video recording parameters and retention timelines -there are hundreds of different types of camera manufacturers and technologies available in the market. Based on your specific requirements, operational or governmentally enforced regulation, budget and timeline, it’s imperative to find and chose a CCTV installation company or service provider that can supply the right hardware that is best suited to your needs. Another important consideration when choosing a system is to ensure that the equipment is locally distributed and available with localized certified support and services. Further consideration is to ensure that the chosen hardware is in fact approved by the government authority SIRA for use within your type of establishment and under the establishment license activities.

When selecting CCTV installation services or a solutions provider in Dubai, make sure to go for a professional installation service provider with the right experience and a proven track record within your required market segment and region, as there are strict rules and regulations governing the Surveillance system industry withing the region, most sectors require a SIRA certified integrator, not only from the point of the establishment but including the engineers.

The CCTV market today is flooded with different types of cameras and surveillance products. The best option for CCTV installation in Dubai is one which caters to your specific needs, whether it is a simple camera that allows you to keep a watch on the outside door or a high-end camera with a peripheral vision of up to 360 degrees to record everything within its range. The company you choose should be able to offer you a wide variety of surveillance solutions to pick from, based on the operational requirements, regulations and environmental challenges of the property or persons you want to secure and protect. The team should also have the technological knowledge and experience to effectively communicate and advise on the right selection and types of cameras and CCTV systems available and which is best suited for your requirements and budget.

The selected provider should not only be able to provide installation warranty for no less than a 6 month period of time but also honor the manufacturer’s warranty period. A large part of choosing the right provider is not only the design, supply and installation but also to post project services, such as the before mentioned and including a maintenance and service facility to offer annual maintenance agreements and or support contracts for the installed solutions. In some cases, its mandatory under the SIRA Surveillance regulations.

To wrap it up: it is crucial to hire a certified CCTV Installation company in Dubai, preferably one with many years of experience and excellence in not only surveillance system installation and maintenance but also the equally important infrastructure cabling, networking, IP, ICT and IT -it’s a turnkey solution that needs to be designed and implemented correctly with the right solution for A to Z to ensure a strong, stable solution. By hiring a professional service provider that offers professional consultancy alongside their products and services especially within Dubai and the UAE, you can be assured that you will be getting the right services, information and solutions that will suit you best.
