We are proud to share that dynamicZM was shortlisted for Fire Innovation of the Year at the prestigious Fire & Security Matters Awards 2025, held at the Coventry Building Society Arena earlier this month.
Although we didn’t take home the trophy on the night, the recognition as a finalist in such a competitive category is a huge achievement. The event brought together innovators, leaders, and professionals from across the fire and security sectors and we were honoured to be part of it.
“To see dynamicZM recognised by Fire Safety Matters in its launch year is a fantastic milestone. It validates the innovation and problem-solving at the heart of this product and we’re only just getting started,” says Damian Linley, the innovator behind dynamicZM.
The awards night was a great opportunity to connect with industry peers, celebrate collective progress, and reflect on the importance of continued innovation in life safety technologies. Being shortlisted has already sparked valuable conversations with new partners, installers, and end users, and we’re excited to build on that momentum.
What is dynamicZM?
Launched in early 2025, dynamicZM is a dynamic zone mimic® system created to elevate the way fire alarm zones are communicated. Compatible with a wide range of addressable and conventional fire alarm panels, it uses a high-resolution 21.5” LCD display to automatically show active zones – no user input required.
But dynamicZM isn’t limited to fire scenarios. It also allows custom messaging for remote inputs and non-fire-related activations, and when idle, becomes a fully featured digital signage screen. Content is easy to manage via the Yodeck platform, giving building managers full control over what’s displayed and when.
Key features of dynamicZM:
- Compatible with both conventional and addressable fire alarm systems
- Automatically displays active fire zones during alarm conditions
- Sleek 21.5” LCD screen with a modern, low-profile design
- Custom messaging for non-fire activations
- Scheduled media display functionality when not in active use
- Built-in fault output and remote test functionality
- Power-saving mode during mains failure
- Secure, user-friendly content management via Yodeck
Whether it’s improving visibility during an emergency or displaying essential information day-to-day, dynamicZM sets a new standard for fire alarm zone mimics.
As we continue to roll out dynamicZM across a range of environments from public buildings and education settings to commercial and industrial spaces, this recognition affirms that we’re delivering something truly unique and valuable.
