Why the Right Power Protection Completes any Security System

Why the Right Power Protection Completes any Security System

Most business owners and administrators would agree that a functional security system is at the top of the priority list for their organization. It’s surprising, then, that a vast number of these systems in the field have no backup power protection in place, and risk failure when power problems occur.

A properly implemented power protection system eliminates the possibility of a security system outage or damage due to minor problems.

Without Power, There is No Security





What are some considerations when backing up a security system?



What is the total power load of the application?

Understanding the total power load of your application will determine the type of UPS system required to keep your devices up and running. Determine what devices need protection and are deemed most critical.



What is the required runtime for your application?

Depending on the priority of your security systems, not all devices will need long runtimes. However, knowing the importance of protecting and keeping your devices functional, always, is crucial in determining the length of runtime needed to protect your overall application.
