What is CCTV UPS?
It has become a rigid requirement for all industries to ensure the continuous and stable operation of surveillance systems since nowadays security environments are highly dependent on video surveillance. However, there are still many pain points for many users when using CCTV in reality. For example, sudden power outages and unstable utility voltage. These problems will lead to the loss of critical video, the formation of monitoring blind zones, equipment damage, the inability to early warning and other serious problems.
CCTV UPS is an uninterruptible power supply equipment specially designed for video surveillance system. It can provide continuous power to keep the surveillance system running stably when the utility power is interrupted, and prevent the interruption of surveillance, video loss or equipment damage caused by power failure. We know that traditional CCTV UPS has high maintenance costs due to frequent battery replacements, and difficult to install in complex environments. Virtue CCTV UPS uses lithium iron phosphate batteries, which can effectively help you solve the replacement cost, installation environment and other problems. Even through the intelligent monitoring platform to realize from passive maintenance to active prevention. It even can realize from the passive maintenance to the active prevention through the intelligent monitoring platform.
How CCTV UPS works?
Digital security has become an important infrastructure for maintaining social security. However, even the most advanced surveillance equipment cannot be separated from a stable and reliable power supply. That’s why we need to equip CCTV system with UPS system. UPS for CCTV can ensure that the surveillance equipment gets a continuous and stable power supply through sophisticated electronic technology. In the system, the CCTV UPS works in three stages.
CCTV UPS will purify the current when the utility power is working normally. The AC power will be converted to DC through the rectifier, and then the inverter will convert it back to pure AC power. This double conversion process is realized to regulate the voltage precisely. In addition, the lithium iron phosphate battery (LiFePO4 battery) packs built into the CCTV UPS are also recharged, ensuring that the batteries are always ready to respond to possible power crises.
When the utility power is unstable or cut off, the CCTV UPS will switch to the battery power mode in zero milliseconds. And during this switching process, your surveillance equipment will not feel any power fluctuation, so you don’t need to worry about whether there will be blind spots, loss of surveillance data, or damage to the equipment during the switching process. When the utility power is stabilized, Virtue lithium UPS for CCTV will smoothly switch back to utility power after ensuring the stability of the utility power, and at the same time start the battery charging process.
How important is the CCTV UPS for your monitoring system?
- Ensure business continuity: As we all know, surveillance systems need to run 24/7, especially for important places such as banks, transportation, shopping malls, and enterprises. Once the monitoring is interrupted, the loss is incalculable. CCTV UPS is the key equipment to ensure the uninterrupted operation of the monitoring system. And compared with the traditional lead-acid UPS for CCTV, our CCTV UPS uses lithium batteries, which can effectively reduce the footprint of the equipment and adapt to the installation space of any place.
- Protect sensitive surveillance equipment: According to incomplete statistics, there are a third of the failure causes of surveillance equipment in various industries are power supply problems. It means that voltage fluctuations in the mains power supply can easily affect the life of your surveillance system. Of course, if you equip your surveillance equipment with Virtue CCTV UPS, you don’t need to worry about this problem. It can effectively reduce the number of maintenance of the equipment and maximize the service life of your surveillance equipment.
- Safeguard the integrity of surveillance data: If an important event occurs, surveillance footage is viewed for key clues. If the data is not saved due to a power outage, it can be costly to the organization. Lithium UPS is a key device to ensure the integrity of surveillance data, ensuring that industries can always access surveillance footage from before the outage, and quickly obtain key clues.
- Provide smarter management: Lithium UPS for CCTV system is able to communicate with the battery, which means that you can keep track of the battery status. Moreover, you can adjust the parameters of the battery according to the actual demand through the smart app, predict the battery status in advance, and take preparatory measures for power supply to reduce the operation and maintenance cost.
How to calculate lithium UPS for CCTV system?
So, how to choose the best UPS for CCTV to make sure it can work properly and continuously? As an experienced CCTV UPS manufacturer, we have many successful cases of CCTV UPS. Regardless of the industry sector of surveillance equipment, we are able to calculate which power and how long backup time CCTV UPS you need according to your situation. Furthermore, we are able to provide customized CCTV UPS service to make sure that the equipment meets your requirements on output voltage, charging time, backup time, plugs, etc. Contact us for exclusive lithium UPS for CCTV system solutions.
Surely, you can also make an estimation based on the number and power of your monitoring devices. After projecting the power of all monitoring devices, you also need to consider the conversion efficiency of lithium UPS, your future expansion needs of CCTV UPS, and the standby time. An appropriately sized CCTV UPS not only ensures that your surveillance system will continue to operate in the event of a utility power outage, but also protects your equipment from power fluctuations. We have lithium UPS with 30 minutes backup, one hour and other duration for you to choose. You can choose according to the stability of your local power grid and generator equipment. If you are located in an area with frequent and long power outages, we can also provide LiFePO4 batteries with higher capacity according to your backup time needs.
How to choose the best UPS for your CCTV?
Before picking lithium uninterruptible power supply for your surveillance system, you have to calculate the total power of the surveillance system. It includes the individual CCTV cameras, switches, surveillance displays and other electronic devices. Then choose a matching CCTV UPS based on the total power. And, if there is a subsequent plan to add more surveillance equipment, you can choose an uninterruptible power supply with more power.
- Determine battery capacity: The capacity of the battery relates to the backup time of the system. That is, the higher the capacity of the battery in the UPS, the longer it will provide power to the surveillance system in the event of a power outage. Moreover, the batteries used in our UPS for CCTV are lithium batteries. With the same volume, they have more capacity than lead-acid batteries. We will provide a CCTV UPS solution with the appropriate hours based on your actual backup time needs.
- Choose the type of CCTV UPS: Our LiFePO4 UPS for CCTV is available in backup, on-line, and on-line double conversion types. You can choose according to your application needs. Or you can inform us of your needs and we will provide you with the most compatible CCTV UPS options to ensure that your monitoring equipment will not be at risk of power failure.
- Customized CCTV UPS Solutions: If the usage environment is more special, or if you have specific functional requirements, you can contact CCTV UPS suppliers for customized products as well as solutions. We will consider the load characteristics of CCTV UPS, environmental conditions, budget constraints and other factors according to your project. We will make sure that the UPS perfectly matches your surveillance system needs and guarantee the long-term stable operation of the security system.
Conclusion
Many users tend to focus only on the obvious parameters such as camera pixels and storage hours of surveillance equipment. However, the most basic power protection issue should not be ignored. CCTV UPS is not only a backup power supply, but also a core component of the security system. It supports power supply of surveillance equipment, protects surveillance data, prolongs the life of equipment, and provides intelligent management. Adding lithium UPS when building a security system helps your surveillance to maintain normal operation status during power fluctuation and provide emergency power during sudden power outage.
