What is CCTV Power Supply Box with Battery Backup
CCTV power supply box with battery backup is a power system specially used for outdoor scenes to provide power supply and power backup for CCTV cameras. It generally has outdoor waterproof and lightning protection characteristics. It powers CCTV cameras through DC12V, DC48V, AC24V or POE, and the system is equipped with a battery pack to ensure that CCTV cameras continue to work when the power grid is offline. CCTV power supply box with battery backup can be designed with IP55 or IP65 level ingress protection.
Typical CCTV Power Supply Box and Its Problem
The challenges faced by indoor and outdoor environments are completely different. The outdoor environment is much more complex. If you don’t deal with it well, it will be difficult to ensure the overall stable operation of the CCTV Camera network. For some large projects with high reliability and availability requirements, government projects, and security projects, it is definitely not a good idea to use DC12V connecting CCTV Camera to Power Supply BOX. The risks it faces are as follows:
Lightning Attack Risk
DC Voltage Drop
Ethernet Cable and DC Cable Deployment Same Time Increase Cost
Another major problem with this type of cheap CCTV Power Supply Box is that it does not use the POE+/POE++ function for CCTV cameras, and does not have an internal battery.
Understanding CCTV Power Supply Box with Battery Backup Architecture
The above figure is a simplified model of a CCTV power supply box with battery backup architecture. It is mainly divided into the following important components:
CCTV camera power supply
Generally speaking, CCTV power supply box with battery backup has a variety of power supply modes to choose from according to the customer’s scenario. DC12V/DC24V/DC48V/AC24V are direct power supply modes, and POE+/POE++ power supply modes can also be provided. Moreover, these power supply interfaces should have a complete lightning protection design.
UPS and Battery Backup
The system generally has a battery for backup, but it is generally equipped with a UPS to manage the charging and discharging of the battery. The configuration of the battery capacity is based on the customer’s load size and system autonomy time.
Waterproof enclosure IP55 level is the most basic, and IP65 is the best
High-quality waterproof enclosure, at least IP55 level. If it is IP65 UPS enclosure, it can better adapt to various complex environments.
Monitoring and management
For those with monitoring and management needs, the monitoring and management module should be embedded in the CCTV power supply box with battery backup enclosure to better monitor and manage the UPS and battery.
