Frequently asked questions
Can it use my existing cameras?
Often yes — with compatible cameras or an added analytics server we can run people-counting on your existing CCTV, avoiding a full replacement; where cameras are not suitable we add dedicated counting sensors at key doors.
Can it enforce occupancy limits?
Yes — live in/out counts track current occupancy against a limit and trigger alerts or signage when it is reached, useful for safety capacity, retail and event management.
Is it good for retail conversion?
Yes — comparing footfall against sales gives you conversion rate, dwell and peak-hour insights. See our Retail CCTV 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.
