Frequently asked questions
Is analog CCTV still worth it?
Yes — modern HD-over-coax (AHD/TVI/CVI) delivers 2MP-8MP footage over existing coax at a lower cost than full IP, so it is a reliable, affordable choice for villas, small shops and sites where cabling is already in place.
Can I reuse old cabling?
Often yes — existing coax runs can usually carry HD-over-coax signals, so you upgrade old analog cameras to HD without re-cabling, keeping cost and disruption down.
Can I upgrade to IP later?
Yes — you can move to IP later when you need higher resolution or AI, often in phases. See our CCTV Upgrade page.
Is SIRA approval handled for me?
Yes — we design to SIRA (Dubai) and ADMCC (Abu Dhabi) standards and manage the approval process where required.
How long is CCTV footage stored?
By default we configure a minimum of 31 days of footage retention in line with SIRA requirements, and size storage to your site category and how long you need recordings kept. Longer retention is available where regulations or your own policy require it.
Can I watch the cameras on my phone?
Yes. We set up secure live and playback viewing from your phone, tablet and desktop, with multi-site access and optional cloud recording — so you can check any camera from anywhere, with role-based access for your team.
