Backup Power (UPS) Sizer
A power blip should not take your cameras, internet or phones down with it. Tell us what needs to stay up and for how long, and we will size the battery backup to carry it. Then we spec and fit the unit that fits your rack.

Example setup2 · How long should it last?
Most outages are a few seconds. The question is what happens when one is not: ride it out, shut down cleanly, or genuinely keep working.
How we size it
We add up the real draw of everything that has to stay on, add headroom so the unit is never run flat out, then match a battery big enough for the runtime you want. Network and camera gear wants a clean, pure sine wave output, not the stepped waveform cheap units produce, which some power supplies refuse to run on.
The single most valuable thing a UPS protects is uptime you never notice: the internet, gateway and cameras riding straight through the flickers that would otherwise reboot everything and drop your footage.
What we confirm on site
- The actual measured draw of your gear under load.
- Pure sine wave where power supplies need it.
- Where the unit lives: rack-mount, shelf or floor.
- Clean shutdown and alerts, on the UniFi dashboard where supported.
- A yearly battery check so it works when it matters.

Get it sized & quoted
This is a starting size from typical draws. Send it over and we will measure the real load, pick the exact unit, and quote it in writing with the battery to match.
A planning tool, not a final electrical design. Device draws are typical figures for planning; real load is measured on site and varies with the exact models, PoE delivered and how hard the gear is working. Suggested unit size adds headroom so the UPS is not run flat out, and runtime is indicative: true runtime depends on the unit, its battery and the live load, and we confirm it before quoting. Battery backup does not replace surge protection or a generator for long outages. Hardware and labour are quoted in writing before work starts.
