1000VA / 600W UPS Capacity
The DS-UPS1000 provides a rated power capacity of:
1000VA / 600W
This provides considerably more load capacity than Hikvision's smaller 600VA / 360W model.
The additional capacity makes the DS-UPS1000 suitable for systems incorporating multiple pieces of compatible security and network equipment.
Typical applications include:
- CCTV NVRs
- CCTV DVRs
- PoE NVRs
- Network Switches
- PoE Switches
- Routers
- Modems
- Access Control Equipment
- Video Intercom Equipment
- Security Systems
- Small Network Installations
The combined power consumption of all connected equipment must remain within the UPS's rated operating capacity.
Built-In 12V 9Ah Battery
The DS-UPS1000 incorporates:
1 × 12V / 9Ah Lead-Acid Battery
The internal rechargeable battery stores energy while mains power is available.
When mains power fails, the UPS automatically switches to battery operation to provide temporary power to compatible connected equipment.
No separate external battery is required for normal operation.
Battery Backup During Power Failure
Power interruptions can immediately stop CCTV recording, network connectivity and remote surveillance if the security system has no backup power.
The DS-UPS1000 provides temporary battery power during an outage, helping compatible connected equipment remain operational.
Depending on the equipment connected, this can help maintain:
- CCTV Recording
- NVR Operation
- Camera Power
- Network Connectivity
- Internet Connectivity
- Remote CCTV Access
- Security Monitoring
- Access Control Equipment
Actual operation during a power failure depends on which devices are connected to the UPS and their total power consumption.
Typical Backup Runtime
UPS runtime varies significantly according to connected load.
For the documented DS-UPS1000 version, typical Hikvision test figures include approximately:
- 60W Load: Up to 60 Minutes
- 150W Load: Up to 15 Minutes
- 300W Load: Up to 2 Minutes
These figures are indicative test values rather than guaranteed operating times.
Actual battery runtime depends on:
- Total Connected Load
- Battery Age
- Battery Condition
- Battery Charge Level
- Ambient Temperature
- Connected Equipment
- Power Factor
- Operating Environment
As the connected load increases, available battery runtime decreases significantly.
Ideal for CCTV Systems
The DS-UPS1000 is particularly well suited to professional CCTV installations where continued operation during short power interruptions is important.
Compatible equipment can include:
- Hikvision NVRs
- HiLook NVRs
- Hikvision DVRs
- CCTV Network Switches
- PoE Switches
- Routers
- Modems
- Access Control Equipment
- Video Intercom Equipment
Ideal for PoE NVR Systems
When cameras receive their power directly from a PoE NVR, the camera load becomes part of the NVR's total electrical consumption.
Connecting the PoE NVR to the UPS can therefore potentially maintain both:
- Recorder Operation
- Connected PoE Camera Operation
during a short mains failure.
The complete load must be calculated before installation to ensure it remains within the UPS capacity.
CCTV Recording Continuity
A sudden power failure can immediately interrupt CCTV recording.
A UPS provides a temporary power buffer between the mains supply and the recorder.
This can help maintain recording during brief interruptions and reduce unnecessary abrupt shutdowns of compatible CCTV equipment.
≤10ms Transfer Time
The DS-UPS1000 provides a transfer time of:
≤10ms
When mains power is interrupted, the UPS rapidly switches the connected equipment to internal battery operation.
The short transfer time is designed to allow compatible electronic equipment to continue operating through brief mains interruptions.
Wide Input Voltage Range
The documented DS-UPS1000 230V version provides an input voltage range of approximately:
140VAC to 290VAC
This broad operating range provides flexibility under varying mains conditions.
Electrical specifications and plug/outlet configuration can vary between regional versions, so the exact Australian-supplied version should be confirmed.
Output Voltage
For the documented 230V DS-UPS1000 version, output voltage is specified at approximately:
210VAC to 235VAC
Regional versions may use different electrical and outlet configurations.
50/60Hz Self-Adaptive Operation
The DS-UPS1000 supports:
50/60Hz Self-Adaptive Input Frequency
with compatible versions automatically operating according to the applicable mains frequency.
Battery Recharge
Hikvision specifies approximately:
4–6 Hours to Recover to 90% Battery Capacity
after discharge.
Actual charging time can vary depending on:
- Battery Condition
- Discharge Level
- Ambient Temperature
- Operating Environment
LED Status Indicators
The DS-UPS1000 uses LED indicators to provide quick visual information about UPS operation.
Depending on the regional revision, indicators identify conditions such as:
- Normal AC Operation
- Battery / Charging Operation
- Overload
- Fault Status
This allows users and installers to quickly identify the current operating condition.
Audible Warning Alarms
The UPS provides audible alarms for important power and battery conditions.
Warnings can indicate:
- Battery Operation
- Low Battery
- Overload
- System Fault
Different audible patterns help identify the operating condition without requiring a display.
Surge Protection
The DS-UPS1000 incorporates surge protection to provide an additional level of protection for compatible connected equipment against certain electrical disturbances.
This is particularly useful for sensitive electronics including:
- NVRs
- DVRs
- Network Switches
- Routers
- Modems
- Security Equipment
- Access Control Equipment
The UPS should form part of an appropriately designed electrical protection system and does not replace required building-level surge or lightning protection.
Overload Protection
Built-in overload protection helps protect the UPS when connected equipment exceeds supported operating limits.
For reliable operation, the combined equipment load should be designed within the UPS's:
600W Maximum Rated Capacity
Allowing reasonable spare capacity is recommended rather than continuously operating a UPS at its absolute maximum rating.
Battery Discharge Protection
The DS-UPS1000 incorporates battery discharge protection to help prevent excessive battery discharge.
This helps protect the internal battery during extended power outages.
Battery Overcharge Protection
Built-in overcharge protection helps protect the battery during the charging process and forms part of the UPS's integrated battery-management protection.
Suitable for Networking Equipment
The DS-UPS1000 is not limited to CCTV equipment.
It can also provide temporary backup power to compatible network infrastructure such as:
- Routers
- Modems
- Network Switches
- Wi-Fi Equipment
- Security Gateways
- Small Communications Systems
Keeping the router and modem powered alongside the CCTV recorder can help maintain remote surveillance connectivity during a short power outage, provided the complete load remains within the UPS capacity.
Suitable for Access Control & Intercom Systems
The DS-UPS1000 can also be considered for compatible:
- Access Control Equipment
- Door Controllers
- Video Intercom Equipment
- Network Security Devices
The complete system design and power requirements should be assessed before connection.
Compact Tower Design
Despite its 1000VA capacity, the DS-UPS1000 uses a compact tower-style enclosure.
Approximate dimensions for the documented standard version are:
274 × 95 × 139mm
Approximate weight:
5.4kg
This compact format makes it suitable for installation near:
- CCTV Equipment
- Communications Cabinets
- NVRs
- Network Equipment
- Office Equipment
- Security Equipment
Operating Environment
The UPS is intended for indoor installation.
Specified operating temperature:
0°C to 40°C
Specified operating humidity:
30% to 90% RH, non-condensing
The UPS should be installed in a dry and adequately ventilated location.
Choosing the Correct UPS Capacity
UPS selection should be based on the total actual power consumption of all connected equipment rather than simply the number of devices.
For example, a CCTV system may include:
- NVR
- Internal Hard Drives
- PoE Cameras
- PoE Switch
- Router
- Modem
- Video Intercom
- Access Control Equipment
If cameras are powered through a PoE NVR or PoE switch connected to the UPS, their power consumption contributes to the total UPS load.
The complete system power requirement should therefore be calculated before selecting the UPS.
