Some CCTV and security jobs in Dubai are safe to do yourself, but most need the right tools, training or certification, and the climate is unforgiving of shortcuts. Here is where the line sits.

What you can do safely

  • service cameras and recorders yearly
  • secure the network
  • meet SIRA retention rules

When to call a professional

  • dark or offline cameras
  • lost remote viewing
