CPC are fab for all things great pricing and fast delivery!

We purchased a scaffold tower, and me and the prems officers get certified to build it etc avery few years, saved us loads of money doing it ourselves. 6.5m ceiling in our hall, so similar.

Used camera and stremed via VLC player via a weblink to classes

I recently mentioned that we are more at risk of a cyber attack during the night and that we should turn off all equipment during those times, most adhere to that now. Not even sure if most attacks ahppen during the night but got a good response, and also the benfit that they now restart every day Worth a punt?

We use Splashtop Streamer, was recommended from the people who supported the child in another school etc. it works well, and yes I guess the staff member needs to be careful with what is on the screen etc, but that is the same for the IWB as a whole. They have got used to sharing the screen at the appropriate times and so on, the teacher can halt the stream to the ipad easily. There are sometimes issues with connectivity but not very often and the app on the desktop needs to be restarted, about once a term i reckon, as the child moves between year groups I just move the app. Its inexpensive and helps the individual too, we also got them the biggest screen Ipad we could, which helps too.

Infotone here for the last at least 15 years, brilliant service, fill the form in, they send a date and a label, box em up, they collect job done all at no cost. We buy all our toners from them, no one has ever beaten the pricing, get freebies in every box to keep the sugar levels going also

Seen it sporadically today, not had chance to look into it yet, but hoping it might just be one of those days

Another thumbs up for ICT Direct for laptops and desktops!

As above, my server earlier this year, set the RAID up first then had to login to Dell with the asset tag to find some of the drivers to allow my OS to install.

We use RM SafetyNet for our filtering, but use Smoothwall Monitor for the reporting, works perfectly for us. Smoothwall monitor will report far quicker than Safetynet, but SafetyNet does a great filtering job.

Happy Birthday Dave! Have a fab day!

Action 1 works well for me, takes no real learning to use, and can control updates to OS and apps really well, the 100 free licences are a bonus.

Happened to me when an AP went bonkers, happened during the day etc. I did as someone else suggested worked from the core outwards. Disconnected all links to remote cabs, and slowly added them back in, once it went bonkers again, disconnected that link, the went to the cab where the issue seemed to be, un patched everything, plugged in one by one till the system started to play up again and bingo. The AP was an older one, so just replaced it.

Hope this helps anyone in the future

We use Splashtop Classroom we have a few licences for the specific mirroring for our VI children, screen mirrored form teacher direct to the ipad pro, works great, not expensive either. Somewhere I have a list of apps to achieve this that the specialist provided who deals with VI and classroom tech, I,ll post when I dig it out.

RM SafetyNet/ Smoothwall Monitor, a primary school here and have no issues with either

Is someone hammering the connectivity? Had this once in a student accommodation

Had same thing, and they remoted in and could not solve the issue, case still open. Did they solve it for you?

Does that include the wifi solution?

We do ok with our set up, We have a wireless handheld mic that is in a camera tripod, this is then strategically placed for the budding acting folk to walk up to to speak/mime/sing etc, the tripod is compact enough to go low for the nursery kids and high enough for adults. The key to things working is that staff are briefed on the pro,s cons of the mic and where to place it etc and also plan around it, if they know before they start practicing it seems to work out better.

i,ll second that on the i3 units, I have some that are 8 years old, added some RAM and slapped some SSD's in and they are still flying. Always had great service from Stone also.

Had some Microsoft keyboards and mice for 8 years in our hub, only had to replace one keyboard and mouse, due to a spillage.

I installed our hall system and was designed for all members of staff to be able to use it with ease, but also future proofed for expansion, my model was non complicated kit that was easy to navigate and without too many 'buttons and dials' that could be meddled with etc. When I,m back in on Monday I,ll email the pdfs for the kit over, the project was successful and I do not get many user errors lol and also did not cost the earth.

We have a Sindoh 3D WOX printer, its brilliant!

+1 for Zioxi, had many trolleys from them, 1st one still going strong after 5 years!
