Backup Power & Failover

A gate that keeps cycling and cameras that keep recording through a power outage depend on battery and UPS backup sized to the actual load — not an afterthought bolted onto the rack. We calculate runtime against your equipment and add cellular failover where losing remote access isn't acceptable.

PROCESS
4 STEPS

How we build it

01

Load audit

Equipment and power draw calculated across the site.

02

Backup sizing

UPS and battery capacity sized to required runtime.

03

Install & configure

Backup power installed and alerting configured.

04

Test

Runtime verified under actual load before handover.

COST
5 FACTORS

What drives the cost

Scoped to your property, not a flat per-item rate. These are the factors that move the number, in the order they usually matter.

FACTOR
WHY IT MATTERS
Equipment load
Total power draw across cameras, switches and recorders.
Required runtime
Thirty minutes versus several hours changes battery capacity significantly.
Gate operator backup
Battery backup for gate cycling is sized separately from network equipment.
Cellular failover
Ongoing data cost for cellular backup connectivity.
Alerting
Notification setup for when the system switches to backup power.

Backup Power & Failover FAQs

How long will the system run on backup power?

Depends on the equipment load and battery capacity we install — we size it to a runtime target you set, and test it under real load.

Will I know if the power goes out?

Yes, backup power systems are configured to alert you automatically when they switch over.

Does cellular failover cost extra to run?

Yes, it carries an ongoing data cost — we'll walk you through that when it's part of the design.
