The entire system ceases to work if the power gets cut right? Doesn't sound very secure to me.

Most of it is wireless and battery powered. If you add a UPS to the base unit and any horns you are covered.

The System has a built in 72 hour lithium battery backup. Of course you can always plug into a UPS as well.

When the power is cut, the external siren is inoperative, but the siren in the control head continues to operate (internal battery) if triggered. I do not know how long this battery lasts.

Yes, Hide the main unit. Could install UPS to keep power to it. I'm pleased with my setup, especially for the cost.

think about this, how would you really know is the power got that bad or bad enough and if you saved anthing by buying this thing. I had smart-UPS with surge protector, and lost most of my internet connection and a few computer mother boad. I didn't lose one TV, but to be safe , the only real answer is to disconnect any and all line to it.

Just checked and see you got your answer from someone else. Good to know it won't go out in a power failure.

I do not know if the people is buying by mistake but if you do not choose properly the power can suffer damage or can be in shutdown mode for protection.

Yes, I have brownouts, surges and out right power outages. It buffers the power flow so you do not power directly from the line. I have my modem, PS4, NAS, and computer connected to the APC. Never had any of them go out during a power outage or surge.

No reason why not, Except! If the power goes out this switch will reset to the off position when power comes back on so you will have to turn your switch on again. If all you are using are surge protectors, no problem. If the are battery back up's then this would definitely cause your systems to crash if you were no there to turn the switch back on.

The theory is that it is a power outage backup. The problem is that it goes dead even though it is supposedly not being used. Without the battery you get warnings.

It is when it purposely shuts down /bypasses components the generator powers as to not overload the system. Ask your electrician for more details.

i'm not sure exactly what you mean by this question, but, if the power to the port is off, the computer will not recognize the devices connected to that port.

That has never happened to me, so I can't answer specifically. However, if I unplug it, it must be reset again, so I assume the same would be true of a power failure.

Buy a UPS of the type you use on your computer. All functions are there. Size it to how long a power failure you want to ride through.

I have this hooked up to a server and when the power goes out, this unit doesn't. There is no time lost (so far).

I don't have the problem of power loss yet so I wouldn't know. I did try to manually shut power off and turn on from the main power panel and the sockets come up un-powered.

I'm not sure. I've got power backup on mine but obviously if the net drops I'm not covered. I'm on their basic plan though so maybe an option for one of the other tiers?

A.C.: this is not the same as others have said.For temporary power outages you'd need something like an APC (Alternate Power), some of which have built in surge protectors.

If you're having so many regular power failures you should have backup power anyway since that kind of thing is really, really bad for your system. At some point you're absolutely going to lose data or your system will become unstable. - Trust me, I work in IT.

Probably no guarantee at this point.. unless Amazon will back it, it's worth a try and a phone call. This are pretty much disposable after awhile. The loss of power tells me there is probably a short in the power core.. I really don't think you should be using it.. Hope this helps
