Hello, do you have any recommendations for Arlo Ultra Base station UPS power supply 12 VDC 0,5A 6W? The same UPS could supply also LTE router, which power requirement is about the same 12 VDC 6W. Total consumption is then 12 VDC 12 W, which means 1A current. Could Eaton UPS MPS 12-30 be suitable for this purpose? Its output voltage is between 10,5 - 13.8 VDC. When load is about 15 W, typical back up time is about 4 hours. Does Arlo Ultra Base station accept 13,8 V, which is 1,8 V =15% higher than 12 V? and does Base station still work, with 10,5 V? Your comments? Thank you! Regards Borealis 11 from Finland

I use a 750VA UPS which will keep my network and Arlo Ultra base running for hours. A larger UPS only gives you longer run times at a higher cost so determine what your maximum expected power outage length is and choose accordingly. The brand isn't important as long as you can easily buy batteries in the future and it has sufficient protected outlets for your needs.
