BASIRA — SIRA-Compliant CCTV & Security Systems in Dubai
An AI-driven government platform that digitises and automates the full review and approval lifecycle of security-system projects (CCTV, Access Control, Alarm, HVM) submitted to SIRA across the Emirate of Dubai.
Government Platform
SIRA receives, reviews and approves every security project — on one digital, AI-assisted platform.
SSSAP is the central digital workspace where licensed security companies submit CCTV, access-control, alarm and HVM project designs to SIRA for review, compliance validation, on-site inspection and final certification — with AI-driven coverage analysis, automated rule checks and a full audit trail.

Design Studio — CAD, BIM and 2D drawing in one place
Companies upload existing CAD / PDF / BIM files or draw 2D camera layouts directly inside the platform. Every selected device is constrained to the SIRA-approved hardware list, with mandatory inputs for height, tilt angle, lens and ingress protection.
- Upload of CAD, PDF and BIM source files
- Native 2D drawing & annotation tools
- Approved-camera catalogue enforced
- Mandatory device parameters captured up front

Auto Compliance Engine — pre-rejected, pre-approved or accepted-with-fixes in seconds
Every submitted layout is run through an AI-driven rule engine that validates SIRA technical standards before a human reviewer ever sees it. The engine returns a Compliance Score, a structured list of errors and a list of automated recommendations the company can apply directly inside the design studio.
- Coverage of all entries, exits and critical assets
- Pixel density per metre and minimum FPS
- Storage retention days enforcement
- Independent control-room presence
- Blocks selection of non-approved camera models

Mobile Inspection — the field becomes part of the digital record
Inspectors open the approved design on a tablet, mark every camera physically installed, capture proof photos and the system automatically compares the GPS-tagged installation against the approved coordinates. Notes and deficiencies feed back into the central review file.
- Approved layout opens offline on the device
- Photo proof tied to each device
- GPS comparison with design coordinates
- Inspector notes flow back into the review record
