I would really like to know if others have made this move too - cost-wise, it's a no-brainer, however SLT didn't seem too keen. I'm having a meeting with one of the CDB team who knows a bit about Firefly, with our senior team to try and get them on-board. Subscribed to see others' comments too.

We currently have a tannoy system that goes through the entire site. 200-250 speakers (Bosch Praesideo), a few years back we installed a lockdown based system which uses multiple CQR PADP3/SS/BK Double Press Panic Button's across our site, these feed a relay which will broadcast a message over our tannoy system. Then when the key releases the panic buttons, an all clear message is broadcast. We use this on a daily basis to advise students of important messages, request they go to a location, such as the principal's office (very american, i know) and reminders of key events. Well worth the investment. ------ And you can even plug in an iPod to play music site-wide, or in specific zones! There are a few things that I've seen over the years... and perhaps some suggestions... - Either investing in a tannoy system as above - Do you have phones in every classroom? Can you create a paging group? We use 3cx and it's easy to setup! - this however will miss common areas such as corridors - Digital Signage, and morden boards can display a message - although would take some time to action and sync, and not the most time-critical solution. - Upgrade your fire alarm system to a system that can have multiple sounds or sirens - this may make the most financial sense to get everywhere, as you have the cabling there.

This is so annoying - 30th is the day I was going - either I'm going to have to drive, or skip it?!

Sign in App here too - very content with it - their small support team are very good compared to the previous system we used from Media Base Direct. SIA is also cheap and are very happy to recieve recommendations for new features which I LOVE!!

We always turn our machines off at night. We use EMCO Remote Shutdown to do this,. With the amount of PCs we have, we've worked out a huge saving if we turned them off at the plugs (scary - i know) - this is not in place yet, but I know the BM will say those words soon.
