AI-Assisted CCTV Design Review: Property Developer Scenario
In short: In this scenario, CCTV design drawings are checked before installation: the software reads camera positions from the drawings, calculates coverage and DORI distances, highlights blind spots, and produces a review report against SIRA requirements for the engineer and the SIRA-approved installer.

This is a solution scenario: it shows how a typical deployment works for this kind of organisation. It is not a description of a specific client project, and it contains no client results.
Scenario at a glance
| Typical organisation | Property developer with several projects |
|---|---|
| Sector | Real estate / property development |
| Problem | Manual review of CCTV drawings; coverage gaps and rework found late |
| Core technologies | Drawing analysis, rule checks, coverage and DORI calculations, engineering reports |
| Hosting | On-premises, UAE-region private cloud or hybrid, depending on data rules |
The situation
Developers running several projects review CCTV designs by hand. Camera placement, field of view, blind spots and entry coverage are checked late, and problems found during inspection mean rework on site.
How it works
- Design drawings (PDF or CAD) are loaded and camera symbols are identified.
- Lens, height and tilt are checked; coverage and DORI distances are calculated per camera.
- Blind spots and uncovered entries are highlighted on the drawing.
- Rule checks compare the design with the applicable SIRA requirements.
- A structured review report goes to the design engineer and the SIRA-approved installer.

What a pilot should measure
Results depend on the site. These are the measures a pilot should agree up front and report honestly:
- Issues found per drawing before installation vs during inspection
- Review time per drawing set
- Number of design revisions per project
UAE considerations
- Swedish Technology is not a SIRA-approved installer. The design and submission remain the responsibility of your SIRA-approved installer; this review supports their work.
- BASIRA, a related concept for AI-assisted design review, is a proposal, not an official SIRA system.
Questions buyers ask
Does this replace SIRA approval?
No. Approvals are issued only by SIRA through its own process. The review helps find design issues before submission by your SIRA-approved installer.
Which drawing formats are supported?
Typically PDF and CAD drawings. The exact formats and camera symbol libraries are confirmed in a scoping workshop.
Can it calculate DORI?
Yes, from lens, sensor and mounting data, so the design shows where detection, observation, recognition and identification distances are met.
