Hi everyone, new to the whole security camera/home network setup. I have 8 x 6MP Hikvision Cameras around my house. Can anyone recommend a UPS that would be suitable to power these and the NVR? Have no idea what I would be looking for in terms of power capacity etc. Many thanks!
Sizing a UPS to support a Hikvision NVR and 8 x 6MP cameras?

What are the model / firmware numbers?
Are you UK based using 240Vac @ 50Hz?
How long should the UPS last when the input supply is off / out of specification? if this is just for brown outs (voltage drop / frequency drift) 15 minutes should do.
Are all the cameras connected to the NVR?

I'm in Australia. I'm looking at adding a UPS in the case of power outages (which aren't common) but would like the option to view the cameras just incase and just trying to figure out whether I should be looking at a 900W UPS or greater. Thanks
I'm in the UK on a rural supply and use a 1500VA UPS (1 NVR 8 cameras). 900VA will give you about an hour run time. Make sure you get one that will support electronic equipment.

Great thanks so much for that. I'll work off that. Thinking of getting this bad boy: https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/ups/ups/67796-cp1500epfclcda-au
good specifications, I'd buy that. Depending on where you site it UPS alarms can be annoying, I've disabled mine.
