Hey dunno if this is the same for you but with mine that came from having the USB plugged in. Annoying I can't use the USB but otherwise been going strong for 5 years since.
Got the 1200VA 720W model for Xmas, only early days yet obviously but so far it's silent and I like it - has a 2 year warranty and the store it came from is close by if it ever develops a problem and I need to return it.
Would this be good for cctv and a modem… Or any less expensive one..
?
I've had the 700VA version connected to those exact devices for a year or two.
It's been fine, but then again haven't really had a blackout in that time.
For most normal home usage needs these will be fine and pure sinewave is not needed, a correctly sized UPS is designed to provide enough power for you to gracefully shutdown your gear before they run out of battery. If your intention is to actually run CCTV, router, NTD etc during a lengthy blackout a UPS isn't the right tool to use.
All depending on the power draw of what you've got plugged in and what size UPS you have you may be able to get away without interruption during a brief power outage - all this turns to poo though if NBN has an outage also.
You don't need NBN to run CCTV, if you do then it's not CCTV
Cloud CCTV is a thing these days.
Modem would be 12V. Stupid to have a 12V battery connected to an inverter to power a PSU that converts the AC back to 12V. Much more efficient to run a 12V UPS.
CCTV, would depend on the setup, but the traditional use case for a UPS like this is to run something like upsmon and initiate a safe shutdown when you lose power rather than to keep the thing running till the AC comes back. Fact is, looking at like 10min runtime for a 200W system. Not much time for the AC to come back, but enough to run a shutdown script or possibly hibernate a windows system so you can restore your entire desktop when the power comes back.
If the CCTV is also 12V, then could get a 12V UPS and a much larger capacity battery for less than this. Dirty output, but can get those really cheap DC UPS' that take 2x18650's and are powered from 5V/USB-C. Also those small inline 12V ones that simply insert between the original charger and your device.
The cyberpower 850VA or the Eaton 3s 850Va ($162)?
The Eaton is slimmer so have been eyeing that one.
Spec's are almost identical, in fact the Eaton has better USB outputs - may as well get that.
https://www.amazon.com.au/Eaton-Powerboard-UPS-850VA-510W/dp… is $153 BTW.
Had this, developed horrible coil whine. Don’t recommend
