Category: By Industry — Commercial & Office Buildings | Location: Dubai, UAE


Office towers and commercial buildings in Dubai face a specific mix of security demands: high daily foot traffic, multiple tenants, visitor management, staff attendance tracking, and strict SIRA compliance for CCTV — all while keeping entrances fast and presentable for a professional environment.

Merac Dubai supplies and installs the full security stack for commercial buildings — automatic entrance doors, access control, CCTV, and vehicle/parking barriers — as a single integrated system, backed by AMC support across Dubai and the UAE.


Why Office Buildings Need an Integrated System

A building run by four different vendors — one for the automatic doors, another for CCTV, another for access control, another for the parking barrier — creates gaps. Systems don't talk to each other, and when something fails, no one owns the fix.

An integrated approach means:

  • One access credential (card, fingerprint, or face) works across the entrance, lifts, and parking barrier
  • CCTV footage and access logs can be cross-referenced from a single point
  • One AMC contract covers the whole entrance and security stack, not four separate ones
  • Faster fault response — one team, one call

What We Supply for Commercial & Office Buildings

1. Automatic Entrance Doors

Sliding and swing automatic doors for lobbies and main entrances, sized for continuous high-traffic use. We are an authorized dealer for Portalp and Gilgen automatic door systems, alongside other leading brands — both built for the cycle counts and reliability commercial lobbies demand.

2. Access Control Systems

Real products we stock and install for office environments, not just concepts:

  • ZKTeco biometric terminals and door controllers (1-door, 2-door, and 4-door IP-based controllers) for staff entry and time attendance
  • Face recognition & fingerprint access terminals for lobbies and restricted floors
  • RFID and UHF long-range card readers for tenant/staff badge access, including 10-metre-range readers for vehicle gates
  • Video intercom systems (Commax) for visitor screening at reception or building entry
  • No-touch exit buttons and disabled-access door switches for compliant, accessible entrances

3. CCTV & Surveillance

SIRA-certified IP cameras (Hikvision and UNV) in dome and bullet formats, 2MP–8MP, suited to lobbies, corridors, parking levels, and perimeter coverage — built to the same SIRA certification standard required across every commercial building in Dubai.

4. Gate Barriers & Parking Access

Boom barriers (CAME, BFT, VDS) and parking access systems for basement and surface parking, integrated with the same access credential used at the building entrance — so one card or tag covers both the door and the car park.

5. Fire-Rated Doors & Hardware

Door closers, panic bar trims, and fire-rated hardware for compliant emergency exits and back-of-house doors — a requirement civil defense inspections check on every commercial building.


Proven on Corporate & Aviation Facilities

Merac has delivered gate barrier installation projects for corporate and aviation clients including Emirates Flight Catering and Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC), alongside SIRA-approved CCTV and access control work across Dubai's high-rise developments — the same certified installation standard we bring to office and commercial buildings.


What to Check Before You Choose a Supplier

  • Are the CCTV cameras and installer SIRA-approved — required for Dubai commercial buildings?
  • Does the access control system integrate with your parking barrier, or are they two disconnected systems?
  • Is there a local AMC team who can respond same-day if the main entrance door fails?
  • Can they show named commercial projects, not just stock photos?
  • Do the automatic doors carry a recognized brand warranty (Portalp, Gilgen, or equivalent)?
