What a troubleshooting adventure this week...

I ran fibre optic cable between two buildings specifically so lightning wouldn't travel through and fry everything. Smart, right?

Well... even with the fibre link (and media converters turning it back to Ethernet on each end), a lightning strike still managed to pop both media converters through the power lines.

Apparently Mother Nature laughed at my "fibre is isolated" theory.

Then, as if that wasn't enough, the client's fishtank decided to join the party — condensation built up, dripped straight onto their Mesh Router, and took out the Ethernet ports.

Between lightning attacking through fibre and a rogue fishtank committing hardware assassination... I'm not sure if I should laugh or cry.

Networking life, folks. Never a dull moment.

The Hidden Truths About Creating a Website for Clients.

Most people think building a website is quick and easy… until they actually need one.

Here’s what really happens behind the scenes:
“It’s just a simple website” usually turns into 27 rounds of changes.
Clients often say “I’ll send the content tomorrow”… and send it 3 weeks later.
Your beautiful design looks perfect on your screen, but suddenly looks completely different on their phone.
“Can you just add this one extra page?” becomes 5 extra pages.
The client wants it to look “modern but also professional but also friendly but also serious”… all at once.
Everyone suddenly becomes a designer when they see the first draft.

The biggest truth?
A good website isn’t just about how it looks — it’s about clear communication, patience, and managing expectations from day one.

At Oh So Tech, we’re upfront about the process so there are no nasty surprises. We guide our clients every step of the way so the final website actually works for their business.

If you’re thinking about getting a website made, here’s my advice:
Be ready to provide content quickly, trust the process, and communicate clearly.
Have you ever had a frustrating experience getting a website made? Or are you currently in the middle of one?

IP Cameras vs Analog Cameras – Which one is better for your home or business?

Let’s break it down simply:

Analog Cameras (Traditional CCTV):
- Usually cheaper upfront
- Easier to install in small setups
- Lower resolution (typically 720p or lower)
- Limited features – basic recording only
- Poor performance at night
- Harder to access remotely

IP Cameras (Network Cameras):
- Much higher image quality (Full HD, 4K)
- Excellent night vision with infrared or colour night mode
- Remote viewing from your phone anywhere in the world
- Smart features: motion detection, alerts, person/vehicle detection
- Easier to expand and integrate with other systems
- Better long-term value and scalability

If you want clear footage, smart notifications, and the ability to check your property from anywhere, **IP cameras** are the clear winner in 2026.

Analog cameras are only worth considering if you have a very tight budget and only need basic local recording.

Thinking of upgrading your security?
We install both types, but we highly recommend IP cameras for most homes and businesses in Pretoria.
