Security is a priority no business, organization, or homeowner can afford to overlook. But installing cameras is only half the job — footage that no one is actively watching doesn’t stop an incident, it just records it after the fact.
3M Star provides 24/7 outsourced CCTV monitoring for businesses across Dubai — warehouses, retail outlets, offices, and construction sites that need trained operators watching their cameras live, not just recording to a hard drive. Our monitoring center provides continuous coverage, real-time alerts, and rapid incident response, so you have eyes on your premises around the clock without hiring and staffing an in-house security team.

We are a SIRA-certified CCTV solutions provider in Dubai, dedicated to ensuring top-notch security and compliance with the highest industry standards. Our expertise lies in delivering cutting-edge surveillance systems tailored to meet the unique security needs of businesses across Dubai.
What is outsourced CCTV monitoring?
Outsourced (or remote) CCTV monitoring means a dedicated third-party team watches your camera feeds live, 24 hours a day — rather than your own staff checking in occasionally or reviewing footage only after something’s gone wrong. When our operators spot unauthorized access, suspicious activity, or a safety incident, we act immediately: alerting your on-site team, dispatching a response, or contacting Dubai Police or Civil Defence directly, based on the protocol we agree with you in advance.
How it works
- Site survey & camera assessment — we review your existing cameras (or design a new layout) to confirm coverage is sufficient for effective monitoring.
- Connection to our monitoring center — your feeds are securely linked to our 24/7 operations center in Dubai.
- Live monitoring, around the clock — trained operators watch in real time, including nights, weekends, and public holidays.
- Immediate response — alerts and escalation follow the protocol agreed with you, from a simple notification to full incident response.
- Reporting — activity summaries and incident logs delivered on the schedule you need: daily, weekly, or on-demand.
Who this is for
- Warehouses and logistics facilities needing overnight and weekend coverage
- Retail outlets wanting loss-prevention monitoring during and after trading hours
- Offices and commercial buildings without a dedicated security team
- Construction sites needing after-hours protection against theft and trespassing
Secure footage storage
Monitored footage is stored securely with 31 days + 20% extra storage capacity backup, encrypted and access-controlled, so recordings are available for review, incident investigation, or audit whenever you need them.
Customized monitoring plans
Every site is different, so monitoring plans are tailored to your specific setup — whether that’s a single retail branch, a multi-site warehouse network, an educational institution, or a government facility. We design monitoring coverage around your actual risk profile and operating hours, not a one-size-fits-all package.
Ongoing maintenance & support
Beyond monitoring, we keep the underlying camera system itself running properly — regular checks, performance verification, and prompt support if a camera or connection issue needs attention, so your monitoring coverage is never degraded by hardware you’re not aware has failed.
