Hi, I did find a short post here from 2014 from this topic but thought maybe some people could share their more up to date choices and reasoning.
I'm looking for a good UPS that will not only provide a power backup, but maybe more important, protect my equipment from power outages, spikes and brown outs...where the power fades & comes back or where the power cuts off\on\off repeatedly and abruptly several times in a short period, which is what I'll typically experience on frequent occasion in the peak heat of the summer.
I'm thinking I'd need at least 4 or 5 power backup plugs for the computer ( which will run BI), probably a 24 port POE switch that would have 8-12+ cameras and 1 IP phone using POE, don't care about the monitor of course. and I guess for the internet modem.
I'm assuming with POE to 8-12+ cameras backup power would not last very long even on expensive models.
I'm more concerned about electronic equipment protection and of course don't want to spend a fortune.
Also, is it OK to use something like this 4 from one extension on a UPS to battery back more devices or is that a no-no?
