We assess your proposed security design before submission to ensure full compliance.
Our review covers every technical layer of the system — from CCTV layout and camera specification through to storage sizing, access control zoning, central monitoring, redundancy, and cybersecurity — identifying gaps early, before they become approval issues.
An effective CCTV system is defined not by the number of cameras installed, but by the quality and continuity of coverage achieved.
We conduct a detailed review of the proposed camera layout to ensure that all critical areas are adequately monitored in accordance with Security Industry Regulatory Agency (SIRA) requirements. This includes entrances and exits, lift lobbies, corridors, parking areas, perimeter zones, loading bays, and other risk-sensitive locations.
Our assessment identifies potential blind spots, overlapping inefficiencies, improper mounting heights, incorrect field-of-view angles, and coverage gaps. We verify that camera positioning delivers usable footage for identification and incident investigation — not merely general visibility.
The objective is to ensure full regulatory compliance while maintaining operational effectiveness.
Compliance is not achieved by layout alone. The technical specification of each camera must align with SIRA's defined standards.
We review the proposed camera models to confirm that resolution, lens type, focal length, frame rate, low-light performance, and environmental ratings meet the required criteria for the building's risk classification.
High-risk areas may require higher pixel density for facial or vehicle identification. Outdoor environments may require specific IP ratings and vandal-resistant housing.
Our validation ensures that the selected equipment is technically suitable, compliant, and capable of delivering evidential-quality recordings.
One of the most common causes of non-compliance is incorrect storage estimation. SIRA mandates minimum video retention periods based on building type and risk category.
We perform detailed storage calculations to determine the exact hard disk capacity required to meet the mandated retention duration without performance degradation.
This prevents under-sizing of NVRs or servers, which can lead to rejection during inspection.
Access control systems must be structured logically and in accordance with regulatory and operational requirements.
We review zoning configurations to ensure that controlled areas are properly segregated and that entry and exit points are correctly defined. This includes validation of fail-safe or fail-secure operation in coordination with life safety systems.
Our review also examines user permission hierarchy, audit trail capability, emergency override functions, and integration with other security infrastructure — ensuring the system not only restricts access effectively but also complies with safety and regulatory standards.
A Central Monitoring System (CMS) forms the operational backbone of an integrated security infrastructure. While CCTV cameras and access control devices collect data on-site, the CMS ensures that this information is centrally monitored, recorded, managed, and responded to in real time.
Under the regulations of the Security Industry Regulatory Agency (SIRA), CMS implementation must meet specific technical and operational standards — particularly for high-risk or large-scale developments.
Our CMS compliance review evaluates both infrastructure design and operational readiness.
Security systems must remain operational even during hardware failure or power disruption.
We assess whether the proposed system architecture includes adequate redundancy, such as RAIDconfigured storage, backup power supply (UPS), secondary recording capability where required, and network resilience.
Redundancy planning ensures continuous recording, minimizes downtime, and supports compliance with reliability standards expected during SIRA inspection.
A non-redundant system introduces operational risk and increases the likelihood of regulatory rejection.
We evaluate whether the system architecture incorporates essential cybersecurity measures,
SIRA increasingly emphasizes secure system configuration to prevent unauthorized access or data compromise.
Our review ensures that the security system is protected not only physically, but digitally as well.By addressing these technical elements at the design stage, we help
Our role is to ensure that compliance is built into the system architecture — not corrected after installation.
We identify gaps early — before they become approval issues.
