What we provide

Complete CCTV systems, designed for real visibility.

A good CCTV system is not just about installing cameras. It needs the right coverage, recording, storage, remote access and support so your footage is useful when you need it most.

Designed as a system

From camera placement to footage review.

Sunstate Security designs CCTV around your property layout, risk areas, lighting conditions and how you actually need to view, search and use your footage.

Camera selection and placement

We help choose the right camera types and positions for entrances, driveways, yards, work areas, stock zones and other important locations.

Recording and storage

CCTV systems are planned with the right recorder, server or storage approach so footage can be retained and reviewed when required.

Remote viewing and app access

View live or recorded footage from authorised phones, tablets or computers, with user access configured around your needs.

AI, alerts and active deterrence

Where suitable, CCTV can include human and vehicle detection, alerts, warning lights, sirens or speaker deterrence.

Built for different properties

CCTV solutions for homes, businesses and higher-risk environments.

Different sites need different types of coverage, recording and visibility. Sunstate Security designs CCTV systems around the way each property actually operates.

Outdoor CCTV system for yards, farms or remote site security

Yards, farms and outdoor areas

Monitor gates, fences, sheds, equipment zones and remote outdoor areas where visibility, deterrence and reliable coverage are important.

System types and capability

The right CCTV setup depends on your site and how you need to use it.

Some properties need a simple camera and recorder setup. Others need advanced video management, smart search, analytics, multi-site access or stronger storage and user control. Sunstate helps match the system to your real requirements.

Indoor CCTV server and video management system with multiple camera views

NVR-based CCTV systems

A practical option for many homes, small businesses and straightforward camera installations where recording, playback and app access are the main priorities.

Server-based CCTV with NX Witness

Better suited to larger commercial sites, multi-camera environments or businesses that need stronger video management, search, scalability and integration.

AI cameras and analytics

Add human and vehicle detection, line crossing, intrusion zones, smart search or other analytics where they help reduce noise and improve awareness.

Active deterrence cameras

Cameras with lights, sirens, speakers or two-way audio can help warn intruders and interrupt suspicious behaviour where suitable.

Remote viewing and user access

View live or recorded footage from authorised devices, with access configured for owners, managers, staff or selected users.

Storage and retention planning

Storage is planned around camera count, resolution, recording schedule and how long you need footage retained for review or evidence.

Choosing the right platform

NVR-based or server-based CCTV?

The best CCTV platform depends on your site size, camera count, workflow, storage needs and future plans. Some sites need a simple recorder-based system, while others benefit from a more advanced server-based platform.

Which one is right for your site?

We do not push every customer into the same platform. Sunstate helps you choose the right CCTV architecture based on your site layout, number of cameras, footage retention needs, user requirements, budget and future plans.

CCTV features

Smarter features that make footage easier to use.

Modern CCTV systems can do more than record video. Depending on your site, cameras and video management tools can help you detect activity, review footage faster, improve visibility and support a more practical response.

High-resolution footage

Clearer video can help identify people, vehicles, activity and incidents more effectively, especially across key entrances and high-value areas.

Human and vehicle detection

AI-supported cameras can help distinguish people and vehicles from general motion, reducing false alerts and improving event awareness.

Low-light and night visibility

Camera selection can include infrared, full-colour low-light or smart lighting options depending on the environment and lighting conditions.

Smart search and playback

Video management tools can make it easier to find relevant footage, review events and reduce the time spent searching through recordings.

Active deterrence

Cameras with warning lights, sirens, speakers or two-way audio can help interrupt suspicious behaviour before an incident escalates.

Mobile and remote access

Authorised users can view live or recorded footage from phones, tablets or computers, with access configured around your business or household needs.

Audio and speaker options

Where suitable and compliant, cameras can include microphones, speakers or two-way audio to support monitoring, verification or deterrence workflows.

User permissions

Access can be set up for owners, managers, staff or selected users so the right people can view the right cameras and footage.

Integration options

CCTV can be aligned with alarms, access control, monitoring workflows or future automation where the site requires a more connected security system.

Technology in action

See how modern CCTV tools help you monitor, search and respond.

The right CCTV system can help you do more than record footage. Video management, smart search, AI detection and deterrence features can make your system more useful for day-to-day visibility and incident response.

NX Witness video management

For larger or more advanced CCTV systems, NX Witness can make it easier to view cameras, search footage, manage users and support multi-camera or multi-site environments.

AI active deterrence CCTV camera warning response

AI active deterrence cameras

Where suitable, cameras with human and vehicle detection, warning lights, sirens or speaker challenge can help interrupt suspicious activity before it escalates.

FAQ

Common questions about CCTV systems.

Practical answers for homes, businesses and commercial sites considering a new CCTV system or upgrading an existing setup.

What is included in a CCTV system?

A CCTV system may include cameras, cabling, network equipment, an NVR or server, storage, remote viewing, user access, alerts, video management software and optional AI or active deterrence features. The right setup depends on your site and how you need to use the footage.

Can you upgrade an existing CCTV system?

In many cases, yes. We can assess your existing cameras, cabling, recorder, network setup and app access, then advise what can be reused, upgraded or replaced to improve reliability, coverage and usability.

Can I view CCTV footage remotely?

Yes. Modern CCTV systems can be configured for authorised remote access from phones, tablets or computers. Access can be set up for owners, managers, staff or selected users depending on your requirements.

How long is CCTV footage stored?

Footage retention depends on camera count, recording quality, frame rate, storage size, recording schedule and your operational needs. We can help calculate a practical storage capacity based on how long you need footage available for review.

Do you install AI and active deterrence cameras?

Yes. Where suitable, CCTV systems can include AI-supported human and vehicle detection, line crossing, intrusion zones, warning lights, sirens, speakers or two-way audio. We recommend these features based on the site risk and environment.

What is the difference between NVR and server-based CCTV?
