can this be used in a apt incase of a power outage

Yes,it's been used in apts for years in Japan with no ill effects. very popular item in Japan an widely used.

The product use and description states that it should not be used indoors. I have used this outdoors at a campsite and it was great! So easy to set up and works like a regular gas burning stove.

You could use a butane stove inside the house and many folks also use alcohol cans to keep foods hot on a buffet. These produce so low of a level of CM that it would dissipate before the stove is cold after use. However attempting to do the same in a closet for example and the results are the same for a tent, the consumption of oxygene with the added CM over time is deadly.

If you open the windows and maybe a door to I Would say yes. Do not leave this thing on to long since the gas it uses can be lethal in closed spaces (carbon monoxide poisoning). Although butane gas is still used widely in homes these days as well, it would just be safer :)

Yes, I've used it twice during power outages and this is the sole purpose of why I purchased it.

Yes you can. Depending on the power grid in your area, I would recommend putting this on a UPS or other -very- reliable power source. I had to perform factory resets frequently until I did so.

yes I have used doing a power outage for 3 days just some time crack door to the out side if you think the fumes is to high because every room has got to have a door to get in to it .....

This type question, for me, would go directly to the manufacturer only because I am a real coward when it comes to things electric. If it were not for burning the house down, I would try it. Shucks, I'd try it anyhow, but check with my insurance carrier first. I do not have the packaging handy; however, if there were a safety possibility, it should say. My recollection is that if you are replacing an existing electrical outlet with the Skylink and do not exceed the permitted power limitations, you are going to be o.k.. But please check with them.

This unit is better than nothing against "power surges" To be fully protected. a "UPS" box might be suggested.

Yes, the computer that the software is installed on will need to always remain on for email and all other alerts and motion activated video recording. A UPS battery backup is also a good idea for unexpected power outages, as the program can only be restarted at the computer it's installed on. You can use a hard wired or a WiFi laptop, as long as it has internet access. A wired connection would most likely be much faster.

I don't think so. I recently had a power outage and it wouldn't work. But perhaps there is something to set up or to do which I didn't do, but, again, I doubt it. I have a very old analogue phone for just such outages.

Yes, but remember the protection is limited to preventing electrical damage. It will not help with a power outage. If you want to protect your data, consider an uninterruptible power supply (for example APC BE750G Power Saving Battery Back-UPS for approximately the same price). Personally, I plug computers and TVs into UPS units, and I plug a printer/fax/scanner into a line conditioner to keep the printer from causing sags that result in the AFCI (a kind of circuit breaker) from tripping. To summarize, a line conditioner is NOT a UPS.

I have a power surge protector -- just in case there is a lightning storm and if it knocks out the motor I will not be a happy camper.An extension of this arrangement means, a UPS may work. I see why not. Principle is the same. Actually, a UPS is a smart move.

It looks like you could. I haven't ever done so. Mine is plugged into a power surge unit though.

Yes it's safe but you have have access to your main circuit breaker box for your Apt

Yes, it can! I bought one of these and found the instructions in one of the reviews does work. Reposted here for your convenience... "Use the included strange USB thing to hook it up to your computer, then use the free PowerAlert software from Tripp Lite's website. Switch the software into Business mode, then go over to the Action section. In the list of actions is "Set Audible Alarm". Set the value to 1 (even if it's already 1, overwrite it), then execute the command. After a second or two, the program will unfreeze, and it will be completely silent when it loses power from then on!"

No, it won't work in a power outage because my base unit is plugged into my household current and the phone line service is provided by the cable company. For power outages, it's best to rely on a separate phone line that's hard wired to a telephone company, e.g., Verizon.

Usually no...these tend to only work with old analog systems. But even if it did, it tends to defeat some of the purposes since if your power/internet is out, your alarm system won't work either.

You can what you need as long as the wattage in not greater than 3200 watts. Multiple 120 volts X number of amperes of each device to get total wattage demand. For example your refrig requires say 12 amps current so you would be using 1440 watts of power. Four 60 watt light bulbs burning would consume 240 watts, add an electric heater would probably eat up 1500 watts. So, for power outages, you might consider one of twice the wattage. This little generator helped me to power electric chainsaws after several trees were downed. It's a good buy.

Yes. You can even use a power over ethernet injector to prevent having to use a power outlet. The covers they offer are also nice.

To avoid missing recordings due to power outages I suggest using a small UPS
