Frequently asked questions
Is it accurate at a distance or angle?
With correct camera placement, resolution and lighting, yes — we design capture zones at entrances and choke points where faces are presented clearly, so recognition is reliable rather than hit-and-miss from poorly-angled general cameras.
Is facial recognition compliant in the UAE?
Used responsibly with the right privacy safeguards, signage and data handling, yes — we advise on compliant, proportionate use for access, VIP or watch-list applications so it meets regulatory and privacy expectations.
Can it control doors?
Yes — facial recognition can act as a touchless access credential, opening doors and gates for enrolled people. See our Access Control 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.
