SIRA inspection is a critical stage in any security project. Even fully compliant systems can face delays or rejection if installation, configuration, or documentation does not align with approved designs.
At D4S, we provide a structured pre-inspection compliance audit to ensure your project passes inspection smoothly and efficiently.
Before the SIRA inspection, our team conducts a thorough on-site audit, focusing on all critical aspects of the security system:
We verify that all CCTV cameras are installed according to approved drawings, with correct field-of-view, angles, and height. This ensures there are no blind spots or coverage gaps that could compromise compliance or security effectiveness.
We confirm that NVRs, servers, or cloud storage solutions are correctly configured to meet SIRA's mandated retention periods, reviewing recording quality, frame rates, and capacity.
Recording schedules, motion detection, access control permissions, and alarm thresholds are all reviewed to ensure operational alignment with regulatory requirements.
We assess operator workstations, display screens, video walls, and monitoring procedures to ensure the setup meets SIRA's ergonomic and operational standards.
Proper labeling of cameras, access points, cabling, and network equipment is critical. We ensure as-built documentation, schematics, and manuals are complete and auditable.
During the audit, we identify any deviations or potential non-compliance issues. Our team provides a comprehensive gap analysis, outlining specific areas that require correction or improvement.
We also provide practical rectification guidance, prioritizing actions that will bring the system into full compliance with minimal disruption and cost.
After gaps are addressed, we conduct a final inspection readiness review to confirm that the system, documentation, and site are fully prepared for the SIRA inspection. This step ensures confidence and minimizes the risk of last-minute surprises during the authority visit.
Our support extends through the final inspection and approval stage. We assist with authority queries, clarify technical details, and ensure that all SIRA requirements are met for first-time approval.
By combining detailed on-site verification, gap analysis, and structured guidance, we increase the likelihood of first-time approval, reduce project delays, and give consultants and developers confidence that their security systems meet both technical and regulatory expectations.
