UPS Battery Backup for HiLook CCTV & IT

Comms Direct supplies a curated range of UPS for HiLook CCTV — battery backup that keeps your recorder, network and cameras running when the mains drops out. A UPS does two jobs at once: it carries the system on battery through a power cut, and its automatic voltage regulation cleans up the brownouts and surges that crash and age your equipment day to day.

Brief Cuts and Flickers — Ride Straight Through Them

Most power interruptions last seconds, but a single flicker can drop a recording, corrupt a file or knock the recorder offline until someone resets it. A UPS rides straight through them — the system never drops, nothing restarts, no footage is lost. Automatic voltage regulation steadies the sags and surges of dirty mains the rest of the time, so the gear resets less and lasts longer.

Longer Outages — and Deliberate Ones

A UPS for HiLook CCTV won’t run forever — battery runtime depends on the load and the model — but it keeps the system live for a real window while the power is down. Because the cameras run off the recorder’s built-in PoE, there are only two things to back up: the NVR and the modem or router. With both on a UPS, the cameras keep recording and the system keeps sending alerts off-site. That defeats a common attack — an intruder who cuts the mains to knock out the cameras finds the recorder still capturing and still reporting, instead of a system gone dark. For more runtime or a larger system, step up to a higher-capacity UPS — sized to back up anything from a single HiLook NVR and its surveillance HDD storage to a complete HiLook CCTV kit.

Who This UPS Backup Is Built For

🏠 Homeowners & families — A UPS keeps the home system live during a cut, so the cameras don’t go dark just when you need them, and shields the recorder from the surge when power returns.

🏪 Retail & small business — Keep the recorder, router and modem up through outages so footage and trading data keep flowing. A UPS also stops the random resets dirty power causes, and extends hardware life.

⚡ Security installers & integrators — Spec the right UPS for HiLook CCTV per site, from a single recorder to a full rack, and hand over a system that rides out the power events — accidental or deliberate — that every site eventually sees.
