Axxis Cameras are definitely the cameras to have. At 300m though there are going to be times in Heavy rain, snow or fog that you won't see the gate from that distance. We have 2 CCTV towers in the car park, each with 3 cameras on. They connect back to the building over fibre. If you're going to do it, do it right.

What Version of office are you using? Are the files all .docx? Do you have any examples of .doc files doing the same or .xlsx files in excel for that matter. Are there any auto recover files in the folder? Also where are the files being saved to? Try saving them to local, mapped drives and cloud storage to see if it made a difference. Are there any auto recover files in the folder? Sounds like one of two things to me, it could be an auto recover problem where it's getting confused with which file it's saving. Or if it's all .docx file you might have something blocking xml. check your AV, firewall, filtering etc depending on where you are saving to.

Nothing is out of scope, I'll fix my stuff then I'll fix AV. I've even helped to fix the buildings Heating system. It how you build a reputation. "Not my area, but I'll take a look" more often than not it ends you "you'll have to call out XYZ" I do draw the line on going more than 8ft or so off the floor on ladders. Any more than that and they need to look at an access tower or get someone else to do it.

MS Server CAL required for Android devices?
GeekyPete replied to jmak's topic in Licensing Questions
If you run Citrix to a windows server you need CALs no matter what the client, iPad, Android, Windows, Mac... It makes no difference. Also need an MS Office licence too if that's one of the apps you are offering. So in summary I agree with localZuk, you will need a CAL. -
We've set up 15 kindle Fire HDs. They're android so you can set the proxy settings for the Smoothwall box. We even use Meraki MDM to manage them. All work on one Amazon account but to be honest they don't use amazon books. They use RM Books on them which works a treat.

I fear something may have been lost in translation here. American Jelly is Jam but it has no pieces of fruit in it. American Jam has chunks. We call it Jam with or without chunks. What we call jelly, they call Jello. They are not saying PB and JELLO! You're right PB and Jelly would be just wrong, but you have already tried what they are referring to.

RM Management Console Icon not showing on desktop
GeekyPete replied to loxford120's topic in Network and Classroom Management
Do you have the shortcut in a program set? If so check the group membership. Otherwise just put a copy of the shortcut in your n:\ drive. And to ask a stupid question, you do have RMMC installed on your computer don't you? -
He could write a vba Macro in Excel or word to execute a batch file.

Dhicks is right, I posted before checking the specs. It has a "Zoom Mic" built in but no support for an external one. Either zoom out and get up close and personal or use a different camera with support for a good microphone.

For a Speaker (person talking not a loudspeaker, although they might me) Also worth considering a radio lapel mic and plugging the receiver straight in to the camera. That's if you don't have a sound desk then you can just take an audio feed off that.

Yes, Bell rings, all doors are locked, including the corridors, every one goes to a designated safe area, Usually a blacked out store room and keeps quiet. No one is to more unless told it's safe by the head or either of the two deputies who are the only ones allowed to move in a locked. Staff are not to come out even if someone claims to be the police. I wasn't too popular when I asked what happens if the head and deputies get shot or if the intruder starts a fire...

2D Design V2 and Mercury III Laser Cutter
GeekyPete replied to Boredguy's topic in Educational Software
Hi, We have a different set up here, 2D design with a veralaser cutter. When you print/send a drawing to the cutter it drops into a "driver" which has a whole GUI of it's own and you can set quite a few settings in there. It's in the driver you define if the cutter cuts or engraves. You tell it how fast the laser travels and at what speed according to the colour of the line in the drawing. So you might set it that Red moves slowly at full power and that gives a cut. Blue moves faster at 60% engraves, Black moves Fast at 25% power etches. You get the idea. It also has a library of materials. with predefined settings to take the trial and error out of it. I don't know your laser cutter but the settings you are looking for are definitely in the driver and not in 2D Design. -

Transparent proxy to forward to non transparent proxy
GeekyPete replied to pow's topic in Wired Networks
Take a look at Smoothwall.org - it's open source. You may need a way to identify the devices, like setting up a separate SSID and giving it it's own DHCP scope. -
It wasn't that hard tbh.

We were with RM up until 2 Years ago when the LEA changed everyone to NGFL (BT lines) and it's been a total Nightmare since.... Never relied on safetyNet to be honest, had smartcache but that's long gone and Smoothwall installed now. By comparison RM were streets ahead of NGFL.

They've offer it for years but they've only really pushed it for LEAs. Quick googling found this RM Education - What we do: RM Broadband

New Star Wars Film Title Confirmed: Star Wars: The Force Awakens
GeekyPete replied to 6Foot2's topic in General Chat
I voted yes only because it's better than "The Phantom Menace", But then again "the wise sayings of R2D2; WeeeEEeee Beep bop BOOooo " is better than the Phantom Menace. -
Glad to hear it. To be honest mine has settled down on the laptops, even on wireless. Android and iOS tabets... now there's another story!

So if I am reading this correctly: Capita will effectively host your sims and give you terminal server access to it. This saves them from re-writing SIMS they can just use the software they already have. So, you won't need your server. What will this cost? A minimum of £990 per year (10 user minimum) plus £429 set up. All this is on top of what you are already paying capita for licencing and support. If you have 70 staff that use if for registers your looking at around an extra £7000/year. Integris and Arbour will cost a lot less than just hosting SIMS, let alone licencing it.

Can a mod close this down or delete it. I keep re-reading it in case I missed something. I'm going round in circles and it's doing my head in.

Sounds like a faulty projector to me. Even with clogged filters or if the unit was covered in a pile of paper, the thermal cut out should have powered it off long before it reached ignition temp. Art student use projectors to create large pieces of work. It's quiet possible this wasn't ceiling mounted.

Staff only, even then only safe mode with ads and comments removed via smoothwall. Students have access to youtube for schools.

Change file permission of pupil during a test
GeekyPete replied to JosCoeckelbergs's topic in Coding
How about setting up an environment they RDP on to to take the test? Special permissions on the work folder so they can write only. They can't open, delete or modify any saved work, even their own. You could set a distinct colour scheme so its easy to see if they dropped back to the desk top. -
Do we have any mountain bikers/trail riders on EduGeek?
GeekyPete replied to L3OUGH's topic in General Chat
