UAE rules by emirate
What are Sharjah Police's main CCTV rules?
Sharjah Police approve the companies allowed to install systems and publish technical requirements. Points that appear consistently include: covert cameras need prior approval; outdoor cameras whose view extends beyond the property need prior approval; outdoor cameras should be rated at least IP66; the system should run on a dedicated network; and the user should hold a maintenance contract with an approved company.
General information, not legal advice. Rules change and vary by premises type: confirm with the relevant authority or an approved installer.
