Keep Your Surveillance System Working During a Power Outage with CyberPower UPS
Regardless of type, most security devices require electricity to function efficiently. With this in mind, it is recommended to prepare an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) as backup power for your surveillance system in case of a blackout.
CyberPower UPS can provide temporary power and power protection for connected equipment, including cameras, video recorders, routers as well as monitors. When a power event occurs, it is able to keep the system running, ensure video data is stored properly, and prevent devices from being damaged.
Choose the Right UPS for Your Surveillance System
1. Calculate the Total Wattage of All Devices
First, make a list of all the equipment that need to be connected to the UPS. Generally, it may include cameras, video recorders and/or other network equipment. Then, sum up the total wattage of all the devices.
Then, think about how much time your surveillance system needs when the power goes out. Please note that the more devices plugged into a UPS system, the less runtime will be distributed among loads.
