Uni-Power UP-712 12V 2.1A Uninterruptible CCTV Power Supply

The Uni-Power UP-712 is a 12V 2.1A uninterruptible CCTV power supply for compatible security camera applications. It is an option for customers planning backup power for cameras at homes, shops and offices, where a mains interruption could otherwise leave a gap in monitoring.

Selecting the correct backup power supply involves more than matching the plug. Your camera must accept 12V DC, and its maximum current demand must remain within the unit’s supported output capacity. Connector dimensions and polarity must also match the camera manufacturer’s requirements.

For a Wi-Fi camera installation, consider the complete system. Keeping the camera powered does not automatically keep your internet connection working. Remote viewing may also require backup power for your router and fibre ONT, along with an available internet service. If recordings are stored on a DVR or NVR, that recorder needs its own suitable backup arrangement.

Backup duration depends on the battery configuration, battery condition and connected equipment’s power consumption. Night-vision illumination, spotlights and motor movement can increase camera power demand. Confirm the UP-712’s supported battery arrangement and runtime at your intended load before purchasing.

The Uni-Power UP-712 can be considered when replacing a compatible CCTV backup supply or planning a new 12V camera installation. Share your camera model and power specifications with wificamera.lk to help identify whether this unit suits your requirements.

Buying Guide — Check Before You Order

• Match the output voltage: Your camera must support DC 12V. Do not connect devices requiring a different voltage.
• Check maximum current: Confirm that the camera’s peak demand stays within the 2.1A rating, allowing the operating margin specified by the manufacturer.
• Confirm battery inclusion: Ask whether a battery is included or must be purchased separately.
• Check battery compatibility: Verify the approved battery voltage, chemistry and capacity before connecting or replacing a battery.
• Confirm backup time: Request runtime information for your actual camera load. Do not choose a UPS based only on its output current rating.
• Verify backup-mode output: Confirm the supported output current and voltage during battery operation, as these may differ from mains operation.
• Match the connector and polarity: Check plug dimensions and positive/negative connections against your camera’s specifications.
• Plan internet backup: For remote viewing during a power cut, your router and ONT may also need separate compatible backup power.
• Include the recorder: A powered camera cannot continue recording to a DVR or NVR that has lost power.
• Check installation conditions: Confirm whether the unit is intended for indoor use. Do not assume it is waterproof.
• Check PoE requirements: This is not automatically a substitute for a PoE switch or injector. Confirm the camera supports a suitable separate DC input.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this work with my Wi-Fi camera?
It may, provided your camera accepts 12V DC and its current demand, connector and polarity are compatible. Wi-Fi cameras do not all use the same power supply.

How many hours of backup will it provide?
Runtime depends on battery capacity, battery condition, conversion losses and camera power consumption. Confirm runtime for your intended setup before ordering.

Is a battery included?
Confirm the supplied package contents with wificamera.lk before purchase. Battery inclusion and capacity should be checked for this specific unit.

Will mobile viewing continue during a power cut?
Only if the camera and required network equipment remain powered and the internet connection is available. Camera backup power alone does not guarantee remote access.

Can I power several cameras with this unit?
Only if the combined maximum load is within the unit’s supported limits and the manufacturer permits the proposed distribution arrangement. Do not assume the 2.1A output is sufficient for multiple cameras.
