Why Every IT Setup Needs a UPS – A Lesson from the Field

Why Every IT Setup Needs a UPS – A Lesson from the Field

As someone working in IT and CCTV, I’ve seen how a sudden power cut can damage hardware, corrupt data, or stop critical services. That’s why I now always recommend installing a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) — even in small setups.

Here’s what I’ve learned from real-life experience:

—

What a UPS does:

Provides backup power during outages

Protects devices from voltage spikes

Buys time to safely shut down systems

Keeps CCTV, DVRs, routers, and PCs running in emergencies

—

️ Devices I always connect to a UPS:

CCTV DVR / NVR

Network switch or router

Server or critical desktop

Internet modem (for remote access)

—

A tip for beginners:
Always check the VA rating and how much backup time you need. Even a small 650VA UPS can save your hardware from sudden shutdowns.
