How Much Does Office CCTV Cost in Dubai? (2026 Price Guide)

Short answer: A basic 4-camera office CCTV system in Dubai typically starts around AED 2,500–4,000 installed, a mid-size 8-camera SIRA-compliant system around AED 6,000–12,000, and larger systems scale from there. The camera brand is a minority of cost — storage (NVR + RAID), cabling and installation drive the total.

What drives the cost of an office CCTV system?

The biggest cost factors are the number and resolution of cameras, the NVR and RAID storage (SIRA requires 31-day retention), structured cabling and installation labour, and any AMC or monitoring. The cameras themselves are often only a third of the total.

For a SIRA-compliant system in Dubai, minimum 4MP cameras (8MP at entry/cash points), encrypted NVR and RAID storage are mandatory, which sets a realistic floor on cost.

Typical price ranges by office size

Small office (4 cameras): roughly AED 2,500–4,000 installed. Medium office (8 cameras, SIRA-compliant): roughly AED 6,000–12,000. Large office or multi-floor (16+ cameras): AED 15,000 and up, depending on storage and cabling.

These are indicative 2026 figures and vary with camera specification, cable runs and site conditions. Use the free CCTV planner at aztuae.ae/cctv-planner-2 for a sized estimate.

How to control CCTV cost without cutting compliance

Right-size the camera count to actual coverage needs, choose the correct resolution per zone rather than max everywhere, and plan cabling efficiently. A SIRA-certified installer avoids costly re-work from a failed inspection.
