False alarms are all too common, and nowadays are generally accepted as an unavoidable by-product of having a fire detection and alarm system installed. The latest figures from the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service (NIFRS) show that there were over 10,000 mobilised responses to false alarms in twelve months, that’s on average 28 per day in Northern Ireland! This is a huge drain on the public purse, and diverts fire fighters away from essential training, community safety partnerships, and crucially, attending to a genuine emergency.

Tee-rific Golf Day at Dunmurry
On Wednesday 2nd August, we held our Annual Golf Day at Dunmurry Golf Club. The weather may not have been on our side, but it didn’t dampen the spirits of all who attended. Congratulations to Daniel Daly of Daly’s Garage for winning first prize on the day.
Other prize winners included Mark Brooks, Belfast Giants, and Brian Hughes, Odyssey Trust. After a round of golf through mixed weather conditions, guests enjoyed a delicious three course meal in the Club’s Conservatory, followed by a great night’s craic with Magician Trevor Price. We are all looking forward to next year’s event already!

SMART Security Solutions for Retail
CCTV Solutions for SMART Retail
Diamond Systems recently exhibited their value added security solutions at SMART Retail. Using CCTV and Analytics from global leader Axis Communications, the Diamond Systems team demonstrated how security systems can be used to add value to retailers.
SMART Retail is the first of its kind full day conference in Belfast. The SMART Retail event was aimed at educating and inspiring retailers to equip them with the digital tools that they need to thrive and survive.
The conference in the Culloden Hotel, Belfast was well attended by a variety of delegates, including:
- Independent retailers
- Store owners
- Shopping Mall Centre Managers
- Business development managers
- eCommerce managers
Diamond Systems, an Axis Communications Gold Partner, showcased the Axis CCTV Analytics for retail package at the conference.
Using a single Axis CCTV camera, alongside the Axis CCTV Analytics software, visitors to the Diamond Systems stand saw a demonstration of how to convert more sales opportunities using data from CCTV to drive customer value.
The Axis CCTV Analytics software helps retailers answer key questions such as:
- How many customers did you attract today? Measure store occupancy, average visit times and average number of people to plan your operations precisely.
- Do you have the right staff / visitors ratio throughout the day? Predict peak traffic times to align customer-to-staff ratios.
- Are your campaign investments attracting the right audience? Get the insight you need about your visitors.
- Are you making the most of your customer opportunities? Work smarter and more proactively to cut time spent in queues – converting more sales opportunities with the shortest waiting times.
- How do your stores compare? Make the right decisions by comparing campaigns, staffing, opening hours and more.
Naomh McElhatton, organiser of SMART Retail and digital marketing speaker and lecturer, was keen to involve Diamond Systems in the event. “I was delighted to have the Diamond Systems team on board as our fire and security partner for the first ever SMART Retail event in Belfast” commented Naomh. “Diamond Systems are renowned for their innovative, intelligent solutions and they showcased their CCTV Analytics for retail at the event. I am confident that the Diamond Systems CCTV analytics package can add real value to businesses across Northern Ireland”.
