For anyone arranging smart home around Fujairah Corniche Area, tamam removes the two annoying parts — finding someone trustworthy, and finding out the price before they arrive.
Download the appBook on WhatsAppThe character of Fujairah Corniche Area — a mix of residential, commercial and hospitality, so vendors here handle home, office and hotel jobs interchangeably — determines what a good smart home visit looks like here, from the equipment brought to the slot that gets chosen.
Vendor availability is steady and lead times are typically short. Budget roughly 2–5 hours on site for wifi setup, plus a little for access if the building has a lift protocol.
Mesh networks that cross UAE blockwork and reach the garden.
In a villa, a video doorbell is mostly a power-and-signal problem. The natural position is the gate or the boundary wall, which is often the worst wifi spot on the property and may have no power nearby. A battery model avoids the wiring but adds a recurring chore of recharging every few weeks in summer heat that also shortens battery life. A wired unit is the better long-term answer, but if there is no existing bell wiring to the gate, cabling and a wifi extender push a simple AED 250–400 job toward AED 500–800.
In a tower, the problem is permission, not power. The corridor outside your apartment is common area, and a camera pointing into it films your neighbours. Many owners associations and building managements restrict or ban corridor-facing cameras; others allow them if the field of view is angled tightly at your own door. Ask building management in writing before buying anything. Where cameras are refused, a smart peephole camera that replaces the existing viewer from inside the door is usually acceptable, since it captures the same view a resident is already entitled to.
Curtain and blind motors carry the widest and least transparent pricing in the smart home market, because the job blends three variables most customers cannot easily benchmark: the motor, the track, and the power. A retrofit motor that drives your existing track is the budget route; a new motorised track cut to size is the premium route; and either may need an electrician to add a concealed power point behind the pelmet, since battery-powered motors trade convenience now for recharging later.
Two questions strip most of the padding out of a curtain quote. First: is the price per window or per track, and what exact track length does it assume. Second: does it include the electrical point, and if not, what is that line item. Vendors who answer both crisply tend to be the ones who have done the job many times.
Never judge a smart home quote by its total. Judge it by its lines. A comparable quote states the device model and its price, the labour per device, any electrical or network work as separate items, the number of visits assumed, and what the warranty covers — device, workmanship, or both. A total with no lines is not a cheap quote or an expensive one; it is an unreadable one.
Cross-vendor comparison is where the real savings live, because pricing discipline in this trade comes from competition, not regulation. The same four-device install can come back with totals differing by AED 400–800 between vendors, usually because one is marking up hardware heavily while another marks up labour. This is exactly the comparison the tamam app is built for: it lists multiple verified vendors against your job with transparent AED price ranges rather than a single fixed rate, and booking, payment and tracking stay in-app, so the quote you compared is the record you hold if anything is disputed later.
Vendors are licence-checked and insurance-verified before they take a single booking, and customer ratings stay attached to their profile afterwards.

wifi setup generally falls in the AED 200–1500 band. Comparing several verified vendors on the same job description is what stops you overpaying.
| scope | guide price |
|---|---|
| Smart lock, install only (retrofit or replacement) | AED 200–450 |
| Video doorbell, tower apartment (no wiring) | AED 200–400 |
| Motorised curtain or blind, per window, install only | AED 400–1,500 |
Treat these as guide bands. The vendor you select confirms the exact price in-app before the job begins.
Yes, if the nodes are placed properly — UAE concrete-block construction blocks wifi badly, and mesh works by shortening each hop rather than shouting through walls. Wired backhaul between nodes is far better than wireless hops, and many newer villas already have ethernet points wired to a central panel that can carry it. A good installer tests signal room by room before finalising node positions.
It depends on your building. The corridor is common area, and many owners associations restrict cameras that film it, while others allow tightly angled views of your own door only. Ask building management in writing before purchasing. Where cameras are refused, a smart peephole viewer that replaces the existing one from inside your door is usually an acceptable alternative.
Most of them move with you, which is a reason to favour reversible hardware in rentals. Retrofit locks, IR controllers, mesh nodes and battery doorbells all uninstall cleanly; refit the original lock, patch any holes, and factory-reset every device so it can pair at the new home. Motorised curtain tracks are the exception — they are cut to the window and rarely worth relocating.
Wired motors need a power point behind the pelmet, which most UAE homes do not have — budget AED 150–350 for an electrician to add one, and get it done before the track goes up. Battery motors avoid the wiring but need recharging every few months, more often for heavy blackout curtains. Ask for the electrical work as a separate line so you can price both routes.
A small setup of three or four devices runs fine on wifi alone. Hubs earn their place in larger homes: battery devices like lock sensors and curtain motors last longer on low-power protocols that hubs speak, and automations keep working during internet outages. If you expect the system to grow, choosing a hub-based ecosystem early is cheaper than migrating devices later.

A smart lock fitted without landlord consent or a corridor camera installed against building rules can cost a deposit deduction or a forced removal — either of which exceeds the install price. The written approval takes a day to get and removes the entire risk.
A quote far under the field almost always excludes something the job will need: the mesh node, the power point, the second visit. Ask directly what is excluded and what discovered work costs. A realistic middle quote with clear lines nearly always ends up cheaper than the lowball plus its surprises.
Camera cloud subscriptions, hub-locked ecosystems and battery replacement schedules are the quiet second invoice. Over three years, subscriptions on a few cameras can outgrow the original install bill. Favour local storage where it fits your needs, and standardise on one ecosystem before the third device, not after the tenth.
