CCTV Power and UPS Solutions
A CCTV system is only as reliable as its power supply. When cameras or recorders lose power, they stop recording, leaving critical gaps in your security coverage. We provide tailored power and backup solutions that keep your system running even during outages.
Our approach includes planning power distribution for cameras, switches, and NVRs, as well as installing UPS (uninterruptible power supply) units to protect against sudden cuts or voltage spikes. This reduces the risk of data loss and prevents hardware damage.
Why this matters
A short power cut can mean missing the exact moment an incident takes place. Backup solutions ensure your CCTV system continues to run, protecting both your property and evidence.
Our services include:
- Planning of reliable power supply for CCTV systems
- Installation of UPS for cameras, NVRs, and network devices
- Surge and voltage protection
- PoE power management for cameras
- Testing and maintenance of backup systems
FAQ
Do I really need a UPS for my CCTV system?
Yes, if you want continuous recording. Without a UPS, even a short power cut will stop both cameras and recorders.
How long will a UPS keep my CCTV running?
It depends on the size of the system and the UPS capacity. For small setups, this may be 30–60 minutes. Larger UPS units can keep systems running for several hours.
Does a UPS protect my equipment from damage?
Yes. A UPS not only provides backup power but also filters voltage spikes that could damage sensitive electronics.
Can all my cameras be powered over the network (PoE)?
Yes, many modern IP cameras use PoE, which allows both data and power over a single cable. Proper switch and power planning is required to avoid overloads.
What happens when the UPS battery gets old?
Batteries degrade over time. Regular maintenance and replacement every few years ensure the backup system remains effective.
