What We Do
Stratus has been integrating the best in home technology for over twenty years. We believe that technology should provide enjoyment, security and reliability - all with the aim of improving quality of life. We will ensure that your home is prepared for all the future has to offer. All the while ensuring that it is designed with energy efficiency and simplicity in mind.
Stratus are constantly researching the latest technologies for potential use in the homes for which we design. However, we rarely adopt a new technology or innovation until it has matured, as we don't use our clients as "guinea pigs" or "beta-testers" of the latest device or standard. This is despite our enthusiasm to embrace what is new.
Our technology partners represent the very best in their respective fields, and over the years Stratus has acquired the skills and professional accreditations to be approved installers of these brands and technology solutions.
Consumer Electronics Design & Installation Association
CEDIA help to drive Stratus forward, by providing development pathways like training, education, resources, and community.
Clipsal EcoXpert
We've been specifying and integrating Clipsal by Schneider Electric technology for over 20 years. The EcoXpert logo is international recognition of Stratus’ expertise, and an assurance that your home is in safe hands.
Krix Home Cinema
We can design a Dolby Atmos cinema experience for your new home, based around the range of Krix theatre in-wall loudspeakers. Stratus are proud to have integrated thousands of Australian Krix loudspeakers into homes over many years.
MarkApp Design & Job Management System
Our systems are designed using our own design & job management system. Accurate drawings and costings are achieved in real-time while we discuss your requirements. Whether we are face to face in a selection centre, or virtually over Zoom.
Our Philosophy
We believe that systems for which absolute reliability is required - lighting, security, access control, the temperature of a baby's nursery - should NOT be integrated into
systems for which performance is not critical, such as a home theatre.
The technology in our home entertainment systems is constantly upgrading. We eagerly upgrade device firmware awaiting cool new features.
But we don't rely on their reliability as we might, say, a light switch.
We hold to this design philosophy in an effort to integrate systems that work when you need them to, rather than simply automate what should be left to operate independently.
When you build-in complexity, you inherently build-in unreliability.
Stratus seek the opposite - we seek to be simply reliable.
