A comparison of Analog vs IP cameras β Sunset Ridge Technologies LLC as the go-to expert in Dubai for SIRA-compliant CCTV installations.
When talking about CCTV surveillance in Dubai, DVR (Digital Video Recorder) systems have long been the foundation of analog security setups. A DVR records video footage from analog CCTV cameras by digitizing it and storing it on a hard drive. It's a cost-effective and proven solution for many small to medium-sized businesses.
However, with the evolving SIRA CCTV regulations in Dubai, many are asking:
β Is it still a good idea to use DVR and analog cameras, or should I switch to IP-based NVR systems?
This blog answers that question, explores the types of DVRs, top models compliant with SIRA regulations, and highlights the best company in Dubai to help you make the right security choice.
Understanding the types of DVRs will help you choose the right system for your property and stay within SIRA guidelines.
Compact and plug-and-play
No need for external software
Best for small businesses, homes, or retail outlets

Offers more flexibility and storage
Suitable for complex or large-scale installations
Supports both analog and IP cameras
Future-ready option for those transitioning to IP

Lower resolution (typically maxes at 2MPβ5MP)
Limited scalability

Cabling restrictions for large properties
Analog systems with DVRs still have value for basic security, especially on a tight budget. However, for higher-resolution, smart security, and long-term scalability, IP cameras with NVRs are the future-proof choice, especially if you're aiming to meet SIRA compliance in Dubai.
To be SIRA-compliant, your DVR system must include:
Minimum 2MPβ4MP resolution recording
31 days of video storage
RAID or backup storage capabilities
Time synchronization (NTP)
Secure access and remote monitoring
Health monitoring and tamper alerts
Using outdated DVRs or low-quality analog cameras can result in non-compliance, fines, or denied SIRA certification.
