The most common CCTV and security mistakes Dubai owners make are waiting too long, choosing the cheapest quote. Treating symptoms instead of causes. Each one costs more in the end. Here is how to avoid them.
Mistakes to avoid
- Ignoring early warning signs until damage spreads
- Hiring on price alone rather than competence
- Patching the symptom and leaving the cause
- Skipping scheduled upkeep in Dubai's harsh climate
The Dubai context
- retention periods matter for compliance
- cameras, recorders and storage need health checks
- Dubai CCTV must meet SIRA standards for many premises
