Modern Emirati homeowners and businesses are getting keener at increasing the security of their premises. As a result, the demand for CCTV cameras in the UAE is increasing rapidly. If you are also planning to install CCTV cameras to make your building more secure, you might wonder which brand you should go for when it comes to CCTV cameras. With so many CCTV camera brands out there, it can be quite overwhelming to make the right selection. So, we have compiled a list of reliable brands for CCTV cameras that people trust and prefer.

  1. Hikvision

Hikvision is the most reputable name in the world of security cameras. It manufactures top-quality IP security cameras that are highly advanced, user-friendly, and easy to install. The network video recorders (NVRs) and digital video recorders (DVRs) have rich features for security camera buyers and these features are not only focused on increasing user-friendliness and easy integration but also on boosting the efficiency and capability of security cameras.

  • Flexible video footage capacity as you can adjust it
  • Cloud support to store your data on the cloud
  • Custom options for search and playback
  • Improved diagnostics and configuration
  • Footage tagging and network detection
  • Multi-channel live view
  • Smart playback along with simultaneous HDMI and VGA outputs

Hikvision CCTV cameras are most often installed by large corporations and businesses.

  1. Dahua

Dahua is widely popular for low-light security cameras. It is the third most popular security camera manufacturer across the world by market share. It offers three popular security camera lines, which are as follows:

  • UltraSeries
  • ProSeries
  • LightSeries

Each series comes with distinct features. While LightSeries is the most basic, UltraSeries is the best that it offers. Large-sized businesses usually choose UltraSeries security cameras, while small businesses and homes prefer LightSeries.

NVRs and DVRs offered by Dahua are also of high quality and feature quality video footage and support 4K. Dahua NVR uses ePoE, comes with video management software, and supports PoE.

  1. Uniview

Uniview ranked 4th in the international market of video surveillance products in 2020 and 3rd only to Hikvision and Dahua. Their high-quality features combined with affordability make Uniview CCTV cameras the right choice for small businesses and enterprise-level companies and also for homes.

Its product lines are categorized into three groups: Easy, Prime, and Pro. While the Easy line of security cameras is available at an entry-level price point, it offers great image quality. However, it lacks advanced features such as face detection, intrusion, line crossing, and defocus attention. You can find such features in the Pro line.

  • Three-year manufacturer warranty
  • Straightforward installation
  • Simple management interfaces
  • Mobile applications for operation
  • Exceptional video quality
  • ONVIF profile series compliant
  • Night vision
  • Super efficient video compression
  • Vandal resistance

Uniview is one of the few brands that manufacture security cameras on their own.

  1. Samsung

Samsung CCTV cameras are popular but are not as popular as the above three options. It has launched many security cameras to meet the different needs of businesses and homes. Though its security cameras are nothing fancy, they make a good smart home investment. They feature all necessary features for effective security and they can be monitored remotely.

  • Affordable plug-in cameras
  • Reliable home security experience
  • Night vision and Full HD resolution
  • Wi-Fi enabled, Two-Way Talk
  • Motion detection
  • Digital image stabilization
  • Backlight compensation
  • Free cloud storage

 The drawback with Samsung security cameras is that they automate with Samsung SmartThings Only and have a very limited selection.

  1. Panasonic

Most Panasonic security cameras are made in Japan; however, many are manufactured in their factories located in China. The brand has a significant consumer base for offering affordable and quality security cameras. It offers a wide range of security cameras including night vision cameras, Day/Night cameras, IR LED Day/Night Fixed cameras, dome cameras, vandal-resistant cameras, and more.

  • Standard auto tracking
  • Water and dust resistant
  • Digital zooming
  • Wider dynamic range

  • Audio analytics
  • Geofencing
  • Audio/Motion triggering
  • 2-Way Talk on all cameras
  • Works with smart devices used in modern homes
  1. CP Plus

Another great option is CP Plus. Its security cameras are easy to install and use and are packed with advanced functions such as night imaging, virtual zoom, huge-perspective lenses, and in-built video analytics.

If you need surveillance cameras outside your home or workplace, it can make a good choice for you as it comes with rich features.

  • Full weatherproof body
  • 20 meters night infrared imaging
