re: UPS

When I built my Unifi network a few years ago, I put one of these in my rack:

CyberPower OR700LCDRM1U

I bought the 700VA for $199 in 2019 and it's selling for 50% more now.. damn inflation. At the time when I did research, this model was mentioned alot. I use it to keep power to my ATT gateway, ONT, router, POE switch, APs and couple cameras.

Though it hardly ever kicks in as I'm not too far from a substation. We've only had couple big power outages in a few years. When we have lost power at the house, this kept the internet up for us. Though I assume this is dependent on the outside ATT pedestal still having power too.

Though I do like that it can protect against a brownout or blackout and allow a graceful shutdown. The Unifi gen 1 cloudkey I have is notorious for its storage to get corrupted if you don't do a graceful shutdown.
