Where footage goes after it is recorded in the field and returned to the dock.
Four steps, from the footage arriving to the day it is deleted.
Step 1 of 4 Swipe for the next step
Put the camera in the dock and the footage moves across on its own. Nobody copies anything.
Search by officer, vehicle, date or shift, and watch it straight away.
Everything from one incident is held together, whatever recorded it.
Footage only goes out to named people, for a reason, with a record of who approved it.
These come as standard, and are set up around the way your team works.
Every recording stays findable for as long as you keep it.
The software keeps its own record of who did what, and when.
Access follows the role, so people see only what they should.
You set how long footage is kept, and the software applies it.
Records and file lists can be exported whenever you need them.
See which cameras are in use and how much space is left.
We quote the software with the cameras and the docks. Two things are left to decide.
Live footage and docked footage end up in the same place, as long as the cameras come from one maker.
Four things decide it. None of them need a site visit.
Some things vary by system: blurring faces and plates, proof a file is unchanged, one login, and linking to your case system. Tell us what you need and we will check.
Dubai law sets rules for handling recordings. We answer each one below.
Recordings kept electronically, encrypted, and safe from tampering
The original is never changed, and you work from copies. Footage is encrypted while it moves and while it is stored.
Stored to Dubai Electronic Security Centre rules, with set deletion dates
You set how long each kind of footage is kept. Open cases are held back.
A record of who is allowed in, and what they can see
The software holds that list, and every change to it is recorded.
No copying recordings onto personal devices
Everything is done inside the software, and only named people can send footage out.
Sharing only with written approval, and only for the reason given
A named person approves it, the reason is written down, and both are recorded.
This is Dubai Executive Council Resolution No. 13 of 2026. It applies to enforcement officers with judicial powers in Dubai, and to contractors working for government bodies.
The ones that come up about managing evidence.
No. The original is stored where the wearer cannot reach it, and everything done to it afterwards carries a name and a time.
Only people on the user list, at the level set for them. Resolution 13 requires that list, and a shared drive cannot do the job.
No. Resolution 13 prohibits it. Specify a camera with no memory card, and the only way off the device is the dock.
Digital recordings are accepted where they were lawfully obtained and can be shown not to have been altered. The record of who did what to the file is how you show it.
Within one manufacturer, yes, and both report to the same server. Across manufacturers they stay separate, so decide which you are standardising on early.
Agree the cost, the notice period and the file format before you sign. It is easier to settle at the start than at the end.
We run the whole chain in front of you: cameras, docks, server and software. Tell us your officer numbers, your shifts and how long you keep footage, and we will put models against it.
