What Sunstate Security does
Sunstate Security Systems is an Australian privately held security systems integrator founded in 1998 and headquartered at Coopers Plains, Queensland, serving residential, commercial, industrial and construction customers across South East Queensland including Brisbane and the Gold Coast. The company designs, installs and supports integrated security systems comprising CCTV with AI-enabled active deterrence, intrusion alarms (including the Hikvision AX Pro wireless line), electronic access control, IP and 2-wire intercoms, 24/7 back-to-base monitoring with operator-led video verification, and solar-powered surveillance for sites without mains power or fixed internet. It packages these capabilities into named solution categories such as Commercial Security, Construction Site Security, Industrial & Warehouse Security, Integrated Security Systems, No-Power Site Security, and Home & Small Business Security.
The technology stack is built on a multi-vendor integrator model with partnerships across Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Bosch, Salto, HID Global, Aiphone, Inner Range, Milestone, Network Optix (NX Witness), Paradox and others, with AI and machine vision capabilities delivered in conjunction with the sister company Advanced Analytics Australia — including face recognition, SafePassAI hygiene/process compliance, machine vision inspection, behaviour detection, edge AI applications, and integration with industrial sensors and VMS platforms.
Sunstate's go-to-market is direct field sales with on-site consultation and technician-led installation, supported by a 'Get Instant Quote' online system for residential customers and free on-site audits for commercial prospects, plus content marketing via the Secure Insights blog and event participation such as the Brisbane Home Show 2023. The business model mixes one-time system sales and professional installation with a smaller recurring revenue stream from 24/7 monitoring and video verification subscriptions, and professional services revenue from AI and machine vision engagements. Reported scale signals include 25 years of continuous operation and more than 9,000 served customers; revenue, headcount and ownership structure are not publicly disclosed.
