Online UPS for CCTV, Access Control and Security Sites
Cameras, recorders and door controllers are spread across many small sites, each on its own supply. We supply compact online UPS units that keep recording and doors working through outages.
What goes wrong
Typical power problems on these sites.
Gaps in footage
A short outage reboots cameras and NVRs, leaving minutes of missing video.
Doors fail open or locked
Access control without backup power can fail open or block exits.
Corrupted recordings
Hard shutdowns damage NVR disks and recording databases.
Unchecked sites
Small sites are rarely visited, so battery failure goes unnoticed.

Questions
What size online UPS does a CCTV system need?
Add up the power of cameras, NVRs, switches and monitors, add about 25 percent margin, and choose the backup time you need. Send us the device list and we size the UPS and batteries for you.
Can the UPS alert us when a remote site loses power?
Yes. An SNMP card sends alarms over the network, and dry contacts can signal an existing alarm panel.
Why online instead of a cheaper offline UPS?
An online UPS has 0 ms transfer and filters the supply continuously, so cameras and recorders do not reboot on dips. It also handles unstable supplies without draining batteries.
