If you've ever wasted the first ten minutes of a meeting or site handover juggling remotes, searching for the right app, and calling IT, you know the pain of disjointed technology. For Queensland businesses, the fix isn't "more gear" — it's smart integration. Audio visual systems integration, done properly, brings your essential systems together so people can get on with their work.
At DASH Symons Group, that means aligning what you see and hear (displays, speakers, paging, digital signage) with what keeps you safe and efficient (CCTV, intercoms, access control, alarms, gate automation) over reliable network infrastructure. One unified, custom-programmed interface can show live CCTV in reception, pop up an intercom call, release a door, and trigger a site-wide audio message — all backed by neat electrical work and robust data cabling. We install, service, and support these integrated audio visual systems throughout Queensland, ensuring your technology works seamlessly together.
I'm Dave Symons, Managing Director at DASH Symons Group. Since 2008, our Australian-owned, family-run team has delivered integrated systems across the Gold Coast, Brisbane, and wider Queensland. We design, install, program, and support solutions that reduce hassle and improve day-to-day operations. With long-term care available through our Dash Care Plan (DCP), you get a system that stays reliable — without the tech headaches.
Many Queensland businesses don't realise how much time and money they're losing to disconnected technology. Staff waste valuable minutes at the start of every meeting. Security teams juggle multiple screens and apps to monitor different systems. Reception staff struggle with separate intercoms, door releases, and visitor management tools.
These inefficiencies add up quickly. A five-minute delay in ten meetings per week equals over 40 hours of lost productivity annually. When security systems don't talk to each other, response times suffer. When audio and visual systems operate in isolation, important messages get missed. The real cost isn't just in wasted time — it's in missed opportunities, security gaps, and frustrated staff who can't do their jobs effectively.
At its heart, audio visual systems integration is about making everyday technology work together. Rather than separate silos — a TV here, a camera system there, a door station on the wall — we connect your audio, visual, and security devices so they operate as a single, cohesive system. Think reception screens that show visitor instructions and automatically switch to the intercom video when someone presses the call button. Or a training room that can display a live CCTV feed during toolbox talks with clear audio paging.
Modern integration is an IT-aware discipline. We coordinate CCTV (closed-circuit television), intercoms, access control, alarms, and gate automation over the same dependable network your team already uses.
Where helpful, we bridge systems with open standards such as ONVIF (for camera compatibility) and RTSP (for streaming video to displays and signage). For access control, we account for common interface methods like Wiegand or OSDP. Integration is always custom — some brands have limitations, so we test and validate each connection path before sign-off.
With DASH, integration is never “one platform fits all.” We engineer it around your building, your network, and your people — and we’re upfront about any brand-specific constraints and the best way around them.
When you invest in professional integration that DASH installs and maintains, you're not buying a box — you're improving how your business runs. For many Queensland sites, the biggest gains come from joining the dots between frontline security and everyday communication.
We map every integration to practical outcomes: faster incident response, fewer interruptions, and a professional experience that just works. DASH provides complete installation, programming, and ongoing support for these integrated systems.
In boardrooms, site offices, and reception areas, integrated systems make information visible and actions easy. Think of it like having a smart assistant that knows exactly what you need, when you need it.
When your audio, visuals, and security work together, people waste less time and feel more in control. Staff can respond to visitors faster, security teams can monitor multiple areas efficiently, and managers can communicate important messages instantly. For broader environmental control, our Automation Systems services can extend the same simplicity to lighting and other building functions , where appropriate to your project.
User-friendly interfaces reduce errors and training time. Digital signage can show safety messages and instantly switch to a live camera view during an incident. Video intercoms provide clear visitor screening, and access control events can trigger on-screen prompts for staff. DASH designs, installs, and maintains these integrated solutions to ensure they work reliably every day.
These integrations create real benefits: reduced response times when incidents occur, improved visitor experience with clear guidance and quick assistance, and enhanced security through coordinated monitoring and alerts. Your team spends less time managing technology and more time on productive work.

There's a right way to integrate — and it starts with listening. Our step-by-step method has been refined over 16+ years across Queensland. DASH handles every stage, from initial consultation through to ongoing maintenance.
Key questions to ask any integrator:
Picking the right partner isn’t about chasing the cheapest quote — it’s about getting a system that your team trusts every day. A strong integrator understands your site, designs around your people and processes, and stands behind the work with local support.
Based on the Gold Coast and servicing Brisbane and greater Queensland since 2008, DASH Symons Group brings 16+ years of hands-on integration experience. Our Consulting services help you plan with confidence from day one .
A well-designed, integrated system reduces downtime, eliminates everyday friction, and scales as you grow. You save time at the front desk, improve incident response, and avoid costly rework later.
We don’t deliver cookie-cutter setups. As a family-run Queensland business, we tailor solutions across CCTV, access control, alarms (including wireless options), intercoms, gate automation, network infrastructure, and electrical works. Where suitable, we can incorporate platforms like Q-SYS for reliable audio paging and control — always with an eye on interoperability and brand-specific constraints.
