In today’s fast-moving and security-conscious world, protecting your assets, people, and property is more important than ever. Whether you’re a homeowner in Dubai or operate a business in Abu Dhabi, installing a CCTV surveillance system is a smart and essential investment. In the UAE, CCTV installations are no longer just a trend—they’re becoming a legal requirement.

According to the latest updates from the Abu Dhabi Monitoring & Control Center (ADMCC), all businesses and commercial establishments in Abu Dhabi will be required to install CCTV systems through ADMCC-approved integrators starting next year. This initiative aims to enhance public safety and regulatory compliance across the Abu Dhabi emirate.

Why ADMCC-Approved CCTV Installation Matters

The ADMCC governs security system standards for businesses across Abu Dhabi. Whether you’re running a pharmacy, retail store, clinic, or office, your surveillance setup must now comply with ADMCC regulations to avoid penalties and ensure continued operation. This includes specific camera placements, approved hardware specifications, and compliance documentation.

Total Secure LLC – Your ADMCC-Approved CCTV Integrator

At Total Secure LLC, we are proud to be a fully certified ADMCC-approved integrator. We specialize in CCTV installations that meet all government requirements for both new and existing businesses.

Let’s look at a basic example:
If your office or retail space is 10 meters x 10 meters, ADMCC typically requires the following camera placements:

• 2 cameras facing the entrance (from outside)
• 1 camera covering the cash counter
• 1 camera facing the exit door
• 1 camera for full interior coverage

Our experienced team will handle everything—from site assessment and system design to installation and approval documentation.

How to Register Your Shop with ADMCC

Before installing your CCTV system, you need to register your business with the ADMCC. This process ensures your business is logged in the system and ready for inspection and approval.

Required Documents for ADMCC Registration:

• ✅ Valid Trade License
• ✅ Copy of Emirates ID
• ✅ DOH License (for pharmacies or clinics)

You can start this registration process by visiting the ADMCC portal and submitting the above documents. This step is essential for proceeding with installation and approval.

Step-by-Step Procedure for ADMCC Approval

To get your CCTV system approved by ADMCC, follow these six key steps:

1. Online Registration

Begin by registering your company or premises through the ADMCC portal.

2. Document Submission

Submit the necessary documentation including:

• Trade License
• Emirates ID
• DOH License (if applicable)

3. Schedule an Inspection

Send an inspection request email to ADMCC. Attach all required documents such as:

• Technical drawings
• Camera specifications
• Screenshots of camera angles and placements
• System details

4. Inspection Day

An ADMCC inspector will visit your location for a physical site inspection. During this time, an ADMCC-approved engineer from Total Secure LLC will be present with all necessary documents.

5. Receive Stamped Drawings

Once the inspection is successful, ADMCC will issue stamped drawings confirming compliance.

6. Apply for Compliance Certificate

Finally, use the stamped drawings to apply for the compliance certificate, which is your official proof of approval.

Following these six steps ensures full regulatory compliance for your business and prevents any future disruptions.

What Should Business Owners Consider Before Installing CCTV?

To meet ADMCC guidelines and ensure effective surveillance, here are a few key points you should check:

• 📷 Install IP cameras (we typically offer 2MP or 4MP resolution based on your preference)
• 💾 Ensure video backup storage is configured correctly:
  • 60 days for standard shops
  • 90 days for pharmacies and clinics

Choosing the right system from the beginning helps avoid delays during the inspection and approval stages.
