are not recording phone and
radio calls, you are missing out on three very important benefits (four if
your are involved in firefighting activities) that are
far more valuable than the small cost of a good digital recording
system. Here the are!
Improved Administrative
Control
Whether you are managing a
small office, a remote facility, or a dispatch center, you NEED digital
logging capability. Why? Have you ever placed a call and heard
that message For quality assurance purposes your call may be monitored?
Why to you think they included this statement in their caller
greeting? It's because they are recording your call. Why are
they recording your call? One of the reasons is Improved
Administrative Control. They want to know who is calling, the time
spent on each call, the attitude and proficiency of their staff, and how
well the needs of callers are being handled. Many courtrooms are now
using digital recorders as a backup or alternative to a court reporter. In
law enforcement, digital recorders are being used to monitor calls on jail
house pay phones. We all have different administrative needs, and
many of those needs can be addressed with a digital recorder!
Improved Caller Service
In distress situations, people
sometimes are not inclined to present their request in a logical and
progressive manner. For example, calls to fire departments with a
message something like My house is on fire, come quick and then
they hang up? More commonly, a name or address may be misunderstood
and the caller hangs up before the call taker can request clarification. A
digital call logging recorder can address these issues and add an
additional level of efficiency. In public safety, institutional, and
utility applications, that could equate to saving lives! In general
business and governmental applications, this information can help
administrators better manage their activities. This relates to
improved customer service, reduction of errors, measuring employee
performance, and planning resource allocations. If
you are in business, saving a single customer is of incalculable
value. The benefits of Improved Caller Service are worth much more
than the small one-time investment in a digital call logging system.
Litigation Avoidance
The
average cost for "going to court" in our area is generally
estimated at ten thousand dollars ($10,000) or more. If you can
spend a few thousand dollars to avoid going to court, that investment is
well spent. In general, we have concluded that most civil court
cases are conducted because of a misunderstanding, or a condition we refer
to as "unfilled expectations". When two people disagree,
and you are one of those two people, it behooves you to have some evidence
supporting your position. A digital recorder is fair and
impartial. It records the entire conversation and stores it on a PC
hard drive, CD, or both for use as required. You can look up calls
by date, time, or Caller ID. You can even email audio files to
another party. There are a number of ways to provide litigation
avoidance, or just simple dispute resolution. Nothing is more
effective that a digital logging recorder!
ISO Compliance for Fire Departments
The majority of our customers are involved with public
safety with the majority of that majority involved in fire and rescue.
As these users know, ISO requires recording of all communications
involving fire fighting activities, whether with the public or internal
communications relating to service to the public. Those
departments that do not comply suffer a loss of rating points, and a
loss of rating points translates directly to higher insurance rates to
all citizens served by that department.
Of all the voice logging recorders available, we have
narrowed our choices down to two basic models which serve the needs of
the majority of those we serve. They are the TC-02F two channel
model, and the TC-04F which provides up to four channels. For the
same of definition, a "channel" is an input. An input can be
either a phone line or an audio output from a 2-way radio.
Both the TC-025 and TC-045 are completely self
contained recorder/playback units with internal hard drive providing up
to 7200 hours of recording time. This equates to about three years
of service for the typical fire department. A USB jack on the back
of the unit allows data to be transferred to an external storage device
or to a PC. You also have the option of reviewing data on a
regular PC monitor if desired. Nothing else, at anywhere near the
price even comes close to the TeleCorder TC-02F and TC-04F
models.
You'll like the pricing - just $1,050 for the two
channel TC-02F or $1,050 for the four channel TC-04F. You can
order on line using the Buy-Me buttons below. We will even make
the connector cables to your specifications - just let us know how many
phone cables are desired and if any of the cables are for use with a
2-way radio, just let us know the brand and model number. We'll
take it from there!
