Backups

BackUPS

An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is a device that provides temporary power to connected electronic devices in the event of a power outage or voltage fluctuation. It is designed to ensure that critical equipment, such as computers, servers, networking equipment, and sensitive electronics, can continue functioning or be properly shut down during power disruptions. UPS systems offer a layer of protection against data loss, hardware damage, and downtime that can result from unexpected power interruptions.

Backups in CCTV systems are crucial for ensuring data availability, integrity, and recovery in case of failures, disasters, or other unforeseen circumstances. They provide peace of mind and a reliable means to maintain the functionality and effectiveness of a surveillance system.

Types of UPS

Standby UPS / Offline UPS

This type waits for a power disruption and then switches to battery power. It provides basic protection against power outages but might not be suitable for equipment sensitive to voltage fluctuations.

Line-Interactive UPS

This type actively corrects minor fluctuations in voltage levels while relying on battery power during more significant power disruptions. It offers better protection for devices against voltage fluctuations and short outages.

Online / Double-conversion UPS

This type continuously draws power from the battery and converts it back to AC power. It provides the highest level of protection against power quality issues and ensures a consistent power supply even if the input power is unstable.
