Security cameras, DVRs (Digital Video Recorders), and NVRs (Network Video Recorders) are critical for protecting facilities, monitoring activity, and ensuring compliance. If these devices lose power, surveillance coverage is lost, recordings are interrupted, and security incidents may go undocumented.
Xtreme Power Conversion’s J60 UPS, J60c and J90 UPS provide reliable backup power for IP cameras, CCTV systems, DVRs, and NVRs, ensuring continuous video surveillance even during power outages.

Why Security Cameras & DVRs Need UPS Protection
- Continuous Surveillance: A UPS for security cameras keeps coverage active during outages to avoid blind spots.
- Protect Recorded Footage: Prevent DVR/NVR corruption and ensure video evidence is not lost.
- Support PoE Cameras: Many IP cameras draw power via PoE switches, which require UPS backup to remain online.
- Enable Remote Monitoring: Keep CCTV systems and video servers connected for cloud or remote access.
- Comply with Security Requirements: Many industries, from retail to healthcare, require continuous camera coverage for compliance and liability.
