How to size UPS for 24/7 surveillance uptime
December 15, 2025 · 7 min read
Run-time targets, load lists, and why camera uptime and monitoring uptime must be planned together.
Sizing starts with everything that must stay on: NVR, switches, routers, and sometimes field cabinets. Add headroom for startup current and battery aging. Run-time is a business decision: minutes for graceful shutdown, hours for outage coverage.
Pair UPS with managed monitoring and, where needed, Energy Management so you see power state and environmental data in one timeline.
