  1. Best bet for a DSLR is a Nikon D7200 and 2 lenses. Best for just Photography and good for Video. But I see you want to Video as well with the DSLR, so checkout the Canon range that you can install Magic Lantern on. It turns a Canon DSLR into a Full HD camcorder. So that will give you the best of both. Preferably get a Canon you can plug an external Mic into. What model you choose depends on your budget.
  2. Yes we just started using RULER connect. The one BIG disappointment is that to make AD and O365 accounts it relies on an email address for your organisation being present in SIMS. I don't know of any schools that put School email addresses in SIMS. That is the biggest setback in setting it all up. There is still some manual intervention required. Whereas SALAMANDER tools will create new users in AD and Office265 from a rule setup using an algorithm from a users Firstname Surname and year of intake etc,.... So there is no manual intervention needed when a use Pupil or staff member is added into SIMS..

  4. For us we gave up on redirecting the Windows 10 Menu and tiles. We just let Windows 10 build a standard menu on the installed apps on the PC, and then added menu shortcuts and tiles to it with an XML file.
  5. Yep I'll be going, is there an agenda and list of vendors yet please?
  6. Email sent as..... *** Personal Info removed by moderators *** Large socks please.
  7. Is this job still current? Just spotted and possibly am interested.
  8. Try this to see if the database name is correct on the client. Go to C:/ Programdata, then go into the Discover folder. Within that, there will be a Config file. Open the Config file, and where it says “Database Name”, change it from “Discover” to whatever your discover database name is. It was wrong for me now it works.
  9. I do agree the Casio XJ-M130/M140 range is by far the best overall cost effective solution. We have over 40 of these now bought over last 2 years. Very Bright, Very Quiet, No bulbs to replace, no filter cleaning except the occasional wipe off for a dusty top surface. In maintenance man hours saved and cost of bulbs saved the extra purchase expense pays for the projector in 2 years in a classroom. Plus teachers are happier projectors are better and don't break down. I would definitely recommend these. There are brighter bigger ones in the range for main halls too. And with the 5yr warranty for education and 20,000 hours life expected you win all round.
  10. We have been using TMG for a number of years now. It works fine and category filtering is great. Recently though the popup for Windows Security has started popping up on certain websites like AMAZON for instance. A use can type their network logon and password and tick “remember my credentials” box, but it keep popping up. I cannot see what the solution is. It is baffling. The TMG logs don’t give any clue either. Happens for all users going through TMG, even us administrators. Anyone care to hazard a guess on what this is please?
  11. I totally agree. It is a design fault on these projectors. And the deep optical clean is a swizz. It does not clear the fault with sutting down. Either the fans loose efficiency or the Thermister becomes faulty and cuts out.
  12. Well we stripped down the projector, cleaned it and put it back together. It is still teh same fault. Powers off after 10 mins and fans spin up high. Classic overheating. Not cost effective to send for repair.
  13. No we don't have a good sensor unfortunatly. Can't remove a good projector either to swap parts. .. Although Sanyo say fans ?? Is that just a guess by Sanyo, I wonder, or a known fault. Not very good that these projectors all show the same fault after 3 years.
  14. Fans clean and spinning up fine (not noisey) All heatsinks and heat ducting pathways are OK. Bulb is brand new. (we always try that first) Sensors are clean andc working as expected. (barring testing them under heat with a meter)
