Agreed, but my main concern with the UPS is the mains filtering. We chnage the batt to a yuasa as part of the service anyway

with CCTv DVR's (and Telephone PABX's as it happens), fitting a UPS to the DVR is a very very wise precaution for what they cost, if not looking for massive long standbye times.

reduces the instances of locking up especially on the cheaper kits, due to usually superior filtering, but also hiccups caused from short local disconnections by the power co.

Kicker was sites with backup generators. Genny kicks in, Hard Drives stuffed. Intellex were very susceptible.
