Emirtech Technology is an Abu Dhabi based IT and security integrator, founded in 2018 and operating from M44, Mussafah Industrial Area. We deliver practical, retail-grade IT for optical stores and multi-branch opticians across Abu Dhabi and Al Ain, focusing on the systems that protect premium inventory, support point-of-sale operations, and keep examination-area customer data appropriately segregated. Our scope covers ADMCC-approved CCTV design and installation across showroom floors, premium frame display walls, examination-area approaches (with privacy-respectful camera placement and avoidance of clinical capture), back-office stockrooms, and staff entrances. We deploy biometric access control on high-value stockrooms holding designer frames, premium sunglasses, and contact lens inventory — supporting shrink control without claiming to be a loss-prevention specialist. On the IT side, we configure POS networking, structured cabling, branch-to-branch VPN over FortiGate firewalls, Microsoft 365 tenants with EDR, branch backup, and basic biometric attendance for multi-shift retail staff. Optical retail software — such as Acuity Logic or Visual Retail Plus — is operated by the store, with Emirtech providing only the underlying network, endpoint, and connectivity layer; we are not a reseller or partner of any optical retail platform. We are ADMCC-approved for CCTV under Abu Dhabi Monitoring & Control Centre and a Control4 installer for showroom automation where required. We are explicitly NOT Department of Health Abu Dhabi (DoH) licensed, we do not provide optometry clinical systems, we do not store or process customer prescription records on our infrastructure, and we are not affiliated with any optical chain, frame manufacturer, or examination-equipment vendor. We are also not a 24/7 security operations centre, not SIRA-approved (Dubai), and hold no ISO 27001, NESA, ADHICS, or PDPL certifications. To discuss a single store or multi-branch rollout, call +971 55 651 7843 or email [email protected].
Optical Retail IT Capabilities
ADMCC-approved camera design across showroom floor, frame display walls, entrances, and back-office. Examination-area approaches covered with privacy-respectful placement; we avoid clinical capture and do not retain prescription content on the surveillance layer.
Biometric access control on high-value frame stockrooms holding designer ranges. Door contacts, dual-authentication options for after-hours entry, audit logs reviewable by store management. Supports shrink control without claiming loss-prevention specialism.
Structured cabling, switching, and Wi-Fi for showroom and back-office. FortiGate firewall at each branch with site-to-site VPN to head office. POS terminals segmented from guest Wi-Fi; PDQ and payment terminals on a dedicated network where required.
Microsoft 365 tenant setup, mailbox and licence management, endpoint detection and response on staff workstations, and branch backup for back-office files. Patch management and basic monitoring during business hours — we are not a 24/7 SOC.
From a single Mussafah or Khalidiya storefront to a multi-branch rollout across Abu Dhabi Island, Yas, Reem, and Al Ain, we scope the work site by site. Call +971 55 651 7843 or request a free optical retail IT consultation.
Additional retail support
Site-to-site VPN over FortiGate firewalls linking each store to head office. Centralised internet break-out where required, with failover on dual ISP. Supports retail software synchronisation operated by the store team, not by Emirtech.
Fingerprint or face attendance terminals for multi-shift sales and optometric support staff across branches. Centralised reporting to a head-office workstation. Standard payroll exports — we do not provide HR consultancy.
Where flagship stores require automated lighting scenes for frame displays, blinds, or audio zones, we deliver Control4 through a third-party authorised dealer. Practical scope only — we hold no manufacturer credential of our own, not a generic claim.
Supply and configuration of staff workstations, label printers, barcode scanners, and back-office laptops. Standard warranty handling with manufacturers. We do not supply or service optometry diagnostic equipment, autorefractors, or lensometers.
Optical retail in Abu Dhabi sits across two regulators — retail trade licensing and, where on-site refraction is offered, Department of Health Abu Dhabi (DoH). Emirtech operates only on the IT, network, and physical-security side. The clinical, prescription, and patient-record systems remain entirely in the store's hands.
If your optical store needs an honest IT partner who will explain exactly where our scope ends, we are happy to walk a site and propose a written scope before any commitment.
Common questions
No. Emirtech is not DoH-licensed and we do not hold any healthcare-sector accreditation. We provide retail IT, ADMCC-approved CCTV, networking, and back-office systems only. Any optometry, refraction, or prescription workflow stays entirely on the store's own systems, operated by your licensed optometric staff. If a project explicitly requires DoH-licensed scope, we will decline that portion.
No. We do not resell, configure, or support optical retail platforms. These applications are operated by the store's own team or by the software vendor directly. Emirtech delivers only the underlying network, firewall, workstation, and Microsoft 365 layer that those applications run on. We have no partnership with any optical retail software brand.
We design coverage of examination-area approaches, corridors, and entry points only — never the interior of an examination cubicle. ADMCC-approved camera placement is intentionally privacy-respectful around clinical spaces, and we do not retain or process prescription content on the surveillance layer. Your DoH-related privacy obligations remain with the store.
Yes — we install biometric access control on stockrooms holding designer and premium frames, with door contacts, audit logging, and optional dual-authentication for after-hours entry. CCTV at the stockroom entry is also covered under ADMCC. We do not, however, position ourselves as a specialist retail loss-prevention consultancy.
Abu Dhabi and Al Ain are our main service areas, and in Dubai: smart home, PABX and IP-PBX phone systems, IT AMC and time attendance by scheduled on-site visits, gate barriers, ANPR, video intercoms and turnstiles by Emirtech itself, and CCTV, alarm and access control through SIRA-approved partners, with Emirtech coordinating; we do not mobilise to Sharjah or the Northern Emirates. We do not hold SIRA approval; SIRA-regulated security work in Dubai (CCTV, alarm and access control) is delivered through SIRA-approved partners, with Emirtech coordinating. If you are a multi-emirate chain, we handle your Abu Dhabi and Al Ain branches first, and we will be clear about that scope from the outset.
Call +971 55 651 7843 or email [email protected] to arrange a site visit at your Abu Dhabi or Al Ain branch. We will walk the showroom, examination-area approaches, stockroom, and back-office, then issue a written scope before any commitment. You can also request a free optical retail IT consultation via our online form.
