MoI-Licensed CCTV Installation Company in Riyadh

CDIT is a CCTV security service provider licensed by the Ministry of Interior in Saudi Arabia, delivering fully compliant surveillance systems for retail, commercial, and residential properties across Riyadh and the Kingdom.

Why It Matters

Why an MoI-Licensed CCTV Company Matters in Saudi Arabia

Not every CCTV installer in Riyadh operates under the same level of regulatory oversight. Choosing an MoI-licensed CCTV company affects both the legality and the reliability of the system protecting your property.

Regulatory Compliance

Licensed providers operate under rules set by the Ministry of Interior, keeping your installation aligned with Saudi security regulations rather than exposed to them.

Quality Assurance

A licensed provider is accountable for the standard of equipment and workmanship behind every install, not just the sale.

Expertise & Professionalism

Licensing reflects a level of vetting and accountability that an unlicensed installer simply doesn't carry.

Legal Protection

Working with an unlicensed installer can expose a business to compliance risk; a licensed provider keeps the installation itself on the right side of the regulation.

Compliance

CCTV Requirements for Businesses in Saudi Arabia

CCTV in Saudi Arabia is governed by the Law of the Use of Security Surveillance Cameras, issued by Royal Decree No. 164 in October 2022. Under this law, installing, operating, or maintaining a surveillance camera system is not permitted without Ministry of Interior approval—which is exactly the approval CDIT operates under as a licensed CCTV Security Service Provider.


Mandatory in Certain Categories - The law requires CCTV coverage in a range of public and private premises, including commercial complexes, financial institutions, and healthcare facilities, among others.


Signage & Prohibited Zones - The regulation sets rules around where cameras can and can't point and where signage is required to notify people they're under surveillance.


Retention & Handling - Recorded footage is subject to retention requirements, and once an incident is reported, recordings must be preserved unaltered until the investigation concludes.


Continuous Operation Where Required - Certain premises are required to keep their systems running 24/7 rather than on an ad hoc basis.
