Power consumption for VMB4000?

I don't seem to be able to find anywhere what the power consumption is for the VMB4000.
a) what is it
b) where should I be able to find it - it isn't in the "Specification" data sheet.
I want this information to size a UPS since it won't restart after a power cut.

Hey keithg554,

You can see more about the power consumption here: Arlo Pro base power consumption

FWIW, I use a 750VA UPS for my mdem, router and base. A long time ago I used a Kill-A-Watt device to check power consumption of the combination and I believe the total was under 40 watts (your installation may vary). Based on that, the math suggests a ~18 hour runtime from my UPS. I haven't tested that since I'm not gonna listen to the infernal beeping from the UPS that long.
