Has anybody noticed the new price of the K80 Firecams in the latest issue of firehouse?
6995$
That is not bad at all. Given, it is the most BASIC of possible TICs, but realy, what else is needed? This price has dropped from 8000$ just a moth ago the last time I priced them.
For that price you get the TIC with 3 hour battery and charger.
We have filled out our questions and 1199A for the Fire Act, any day now we should be announced. We requested 16,000 for a TIC, that is what a neigborhing department paid for one bullard. We were reduced to 12,000, FEMA thought anything more then that to be excessive.
I have been shopping for TICs under that price, the K80 seems to be one of the bet bets, mostly because we can get 2 of the basic onces for the 12,000 plus a dip in the slush fund.
My thoughts on this is that 2 sets of basic eyes are better then one set of eyes that have neat readouts and color pics.
So, has anybody ever used a basic K80 on the fireground? What did you think of it?
Do basic TICs give adequate performance? Remember, in our case we could never buy a TIC on our own budget, grants make it possible. Haveing 2 Badic TICs in our tiny department would be more beneficial then 1 higher dollar unit.
Thanks
