The Property Masters installs and sets up home and business security systems across Dubai — CCTV, access control, intercoms and alarms — designed around what your property actually needs rather than a box of cameras. We fit IP and analog CCTV with the right NVR/DVR recording and night vision, card and biometric access control, video doorbells and intercoms, and alarm sensors, then configure remote app viewing so you can check in from anywhere. CCTV in Dubai is regulated, so installations are done to SIRA requirements where applicable by qualified technicians. Priced per project, fixed quote after a free site visit, +5% VAT.
CCTV — the right cameras and recording for the property
A security camera is only as useful as its placement, image quality and recording, so we design the system around your property's real vulnerabilities — entrances, gates, blind spots and perimeters — rather than scattering cameras. We work with both IP and analog/TVI systems:
- Camera types — dome, bullet, turret and PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras chosen for each location, indoor or outdoor and rated for Dubai's heat.
- IP vs analog — IP cameras for higher resolution and flexible networking; analog/TVI where it suits the budget and existing cabling.
- Recording — NVR for IP systems, DVR for analog, sized for the number of cameras and the days of footage you want to keep.
- Night vision and clarity — infrared or colour night vision, plus wide dynamic range so faces and plates aren't lost in glare or shadow.
We also set up remote viewing on your phone, with motion alerts and two-way audio where the cameras support it, so you can check the property and store footage from anywhere.
Access control — card, fob and biometric
Controlling who can enter is the other half of security. We install and configure:
- Card and fob readers — for apartment doors, offices, gates and shared entrances.
- Biometric access — fingerprint and keypad entry for keyless, auditable access.
- Electric and magnetic locks — door strikes and maglocks tied into the access system, configured with the users and permissions you need.
Access control suits villas, offices, staff entrances and anywhere you want to grant or revoke entry without cutting keys, and it pairs naturally with CCTV at the same doors.
Intercoms and video doorbells
We fit intercom and video door-entry systems so you can see and speak to whoever's at the door or gate before opening it — from a standalone video doorbell for an apartment to a multi-unit intercom for a villa with a gate and main door. Many tie into your phone, so you can answer the door whether you're in the next room or out of the country.
Alarms and sensors
An alarm system adds an active layer on top of cameras. We install intruder alarm panels with door and window contacts, motion (PIR) sensors and sirens, configured to alert you on your phone and, where you choose, to sound locally as a deterrent. Sensors are placed to cover entry points and key zones without nuisance triggers, and the system is set up so you can arm and disarm it easily from a keypad or app.
SIRA and doing it properly in Dubai
CCTV in Dubai is regulated — the Security Industry Regulatory Agency (SIRA) sets requirements for surveillance systems, and installing cameras without proper regard for the rules can create problems. We carry out installations to SIRA requirements where applicable, using qualified technicians, and we'll advise honestly on what a given property needs to be compliant. The same care applies to any mains electrical work involved, which is carried out to DEWA requirements by qualified technicians where applicable rather than improvised. The aim is a system that's not just functional but properly and legally installed.
How security fits the rest of your property
- Tie smart cameras, locks and doorbells into a wider connected setup alongside our handyman services and home upgrades.
- For the building work around a new gate, entrance or cabling route, see civil minor works.
- Security installation sits within our wider home maintenance offering.
- Planning a renovation? Fold security cabling into a home improvement project so it's built in, not retrofitted.
Indicative pricing
Security systems are priced per project, since a two-camera apartment setup and a full villa system with CCTV, access control, intercom and alarm are very different in scope; our handyman work starts from AED 109 per hour as a reference for smaller tasks. The figure depends on the number and type of cameras, recording capacity, access points and cabling. These are indicative only; we provide a fixed quote after a free site visit, and all pricing is subject to +5% VAT.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need SIRA approval for CCTV in Dubai?
CCTV in Dubai is regulated by the Security Industry Regulatory Agency (SIRA), which sets requirements for surveillance systems, so it matters that an installation is done with the rules in mind rather than ad hoc. We carry out installations to SIRA requirements where applicable, using qualified technicians, and we'll advise honestly on what your particular property needs to be compliant. The exact requirements can depend on the property type and use, so the safest approach is to have the system designed and installed properly from the start rather than discovering a problem later.
What's the difference between IP and analog CCTV cameras?
IP cameras send a digital signal over a network and generally offer higher resolution, smarter features and flexible cabling, recording to an NVR. Analog or TVI cameras send their signal over coaxial cable to a DVR and are often a more economical choice, particularly where suitable cabling already exists. Neither is automatically better; the right choice depends on the resolution you need, the property, the budget and any existing infrastructure. We assess all of that on the site visit and recommend the system that genuinely fits, rather than defaulting to the most expensive option.
Can I view my cameras and answer the door from my phone?
Yes. We set up remote viewing so you can see your CCTV live and play back footage from your phone, wherever you are, and most systems support motion alerts and, where the cameras allow, two-way audio. Video doorbells and intercoms can likewise be linked to your phone, so you can see and speak to whoever is at the door or gate even when you're out of the country. We configure all of this during installation and show you how to use it before we leave.
Can you combine CCTV with access control and an alarm?
Yes, and for many properties that's the sensible approach. CCTV records what happens, access control governs who can enter through card, fob or biometric readers, and an alarm with door, window and motion sensors actively alerts you to intrusion, so the three layers complement each other. We can design and install them together so the cameras, door entry and alarm work as one coordinated system rather than separate add-ons, and configure the users, permissions and phone alerts to suit how you actually use the property.
How much does a CCTV or security system cost in Dubai?
Security systems are priced per project because the scope varies so widely, from a two-camera apartment setup to a full villa system with CCTV, access control, intercom and an alarm, and our handyman work starts from AED 109 per hour as a reference for smaller tasks. The figure depends on the number and type of cameras, the recording capacity and days of footage you want to keep, the access points and the cabling involved. These are indicative figures only; we provide a fixed quote after a free site visit, and all pricing is subject to +5% VAT.
