Approval cycle time
Reduce end-to-end project approval time by at least 50%.
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.
BRD · Section 1
Executive Summary
The platform digitises and automates the lifecycle of security-system project approvals (CCTV / Access / Alarm / HVM) inside the Emirate of Dubai — using AI to reduce review time, raise compliance levels and standardise SIRA decisions across thousands of submissions per year.

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

FR-04 · AI
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

AI Technical Specification
Coverage Simulation Engine
Inputs camera FOV plus floor plan; outputs a live coverage map with un-covered zones highlighted.
Pixel Density Calculator
Calculates pixels per metre at every point and flags any zone failing the SIRA threshold.
Blind-Spot Detection
Identifies un-monitored sectors and proposes optimal redistribution of cameras.
Predictive Approval Model
Analyses historical project data to estimate the probability of approval or rejection up-front.
FR-07 · Inspection
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
