What is Needed to Keep Security Systems Working in a Power Outage?

Businesses must rely on their security system to protect occupants and their property even in the event of a power outage. If the power goes out, most commercial security systems are backed up by an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) battery backup system, in conjunction with being connected to the main power. Backup batteries will allow your system to function for a reasonable amount of time, uninterrupted.

If your security system is completely battery-powered, a power outage will not affect you. With more advanced systems, you can choose to have batteries that are automatically recharged whenever the main has power. However, the more times the power goes out to your building, the more likely those batteries may lose their capacity to fully charge. Security system backup batteries should always be inspected, checked regularly, and changed every few years.
