jjjjjjj 0 Posted July 15, 2005 There is an unmanned volunteer fire dept being built in a nearby town. I am looking for some selling points to try and make a deal. Any ideas are appreciated. My very short list is: Is anyone coming into the firehall when the truck goes out for a call and the door(s) are open? Insurance. Vandalism. Response times. Web Cam? Thank you all.

VST_Man 1 Posted July 15, 2005 - how many times has someone drove to the "unmanned" fire station for help/treatment and nobody is there? You can hook up a camera, a "internet door bell" that sends a page or email, and would allow you to provide both visual (monitor with treatment steps and reassurance that someone is on the way and will arrive in 9 minutes) and verbal help (remain calm and place a pressure bandage on the wound to stop the) until a "real" person arrives? - location of? if weather can cause damage, water pipes breaking, ect. - you can use it to monitor actual response times to the station for review in planning faster response times. ie. fire call goes out via radio at 6:29 and the first responder to the fire house arrives at 6:18. Do the math a few times, everytime and you can provide a average response time. based on actual/required medical treatment required (1 hour is the most important) you can possible figure out a fast way to respond by watching the video. Other fire stations can view it to provide tips? - Boss cam.....while the cats away the mice will play? - historical video data of events in general - public viewing? no way!!! Keep it secure. unless you want your stuff on real tv? - lights on? We all do it. Coffe pot on? we all do it. sell the electric bill savings over time and the system pays for itself. - get a ptz with great zoom and then mount it hig so that the local weather stations, news, ect. can access it. Provided by the city of "nowhere" ALABAMA! - is there a dangerous intersection (s) near by? If so, you can place a few cams at them for recording to capture the action? - dispatchers have the ability to view location. if your out it will be a quick way to dispatch another unit? - spouse cam? spouse can verify if your really working. ha ha ha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
