What happens to the footage in case of power failure?
In the event of a power failure, the outcome for the footage captured by a Security Surveillance System can depend on the specific configuration of the system and the technology being utilized. Many security cameras and systems are designed with features that help safeguard recorded footage in such situations. Typically, if the system is equipped with an uninterruptible power supply, or UPS, it can continue to operate temporarily during a power outage. This ensures that cameras can continue recording until power is restored.
Moreover, in systems that rely on cloud storage, footage may still be accessible as long as the cameras have a backup power source, allowing them to continue sending data to the cloud. However, if the system does not have these protective measures in place, the footage recorded during the power outage may be lost or corrupted.
It is advisable for users to review the specifications and features of their Security Surveillance System to better understand how the system manages recordings during power failures. For more detailed information regarding specific features, the Security Surveillance System website is a helpful resource.
