If the power goes out for extended periods, the unit I posted will keep the security system we have alive for most of a day. If it's an extended period, like an ice storm or so on, one would need to look at a unit with longer capacity.What we are worried about is someone that pulls the meter before entering the home. This prevents this. One of our OSA members had just that experience. They got a pic of some guy pulling the meter and then nothing with their wired system.They lost several firearms and other items from the home. Never caught the guy the last time we talked.For the record, we use the Wyze system which is WiFi. Outside cams that have internal batteries are backed up by solar panels, the base station is backed up the UPS as well as the WiFi router and it's power source. Cellular cams outside independent of any power source other than their internal batteries and back up solar panels watch from a distance to back up the home cams.Internal cams within the home in every room are subject to power failures as they rely on house power using USB ports.There is no system that is 100% foolproof.You're on the right track getting different opinions. Just offering mine.Edit: Several years ago we had a company come out that was offering a wired system. With our home design, they walked away saying they didn't want the job as it would be incredibly difficult. That is when we looked at WiFi.</blockquote>
