Is it only me that worries about the quality of batteries,fitted in a UPS ?

Rather than a genesis or yuasa, there always (APC anyway)of the black lynteck, risco, texecom type now most of us would not use these in our systems but, have one between a 1k+ dvr & the main.....

UPS?

CCTV?

is it that comman then?

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.

Used to be a necessity on the older units.

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

tbh the Maplins units i find pretty good for the 'bread & butter' systems at the price, generally always available reasonably locally and way better than any anti-surge extension lead.

really, on smaller budget systems your looking to protect against the short 'flick' power downs, as to protect against say an 8 hour outage, add in the cameras and your going to be paying the big bucks that shopping centers might command.

but does it have IEC sockets ?

used to use belkin, but they appear to have vanished from the market so on with APC

no probs with that, for CCTv and PABX needs you rarely need more than 5 minutes standby.

cheap CCTv on a power down will usually mean cameras are dead anyway unless powe4ed from the DVR, so you looking to make sure the DVR is protected for when the power restores, PABX 5+ mins is enough to call the emergency service and/or evacuate staff for a suspected bomb scare for instance.

so a budget unit from Maplin will be fine for that need, obviously increase for the jobs that need it.

iirc the smaller Maplin units they have 3 x13 amp socket outputs, but only one socket is maintained. so the 'trick' is to use an extension lead if you need to power the PSU's as well.

just to add, these units carry a hefty indemnity insurance for any damage not prevented from EMF or Lightning
