Power cuts are exactly when an estate is most exposed: lights go out, gates stop, and cameras without backup stop recording. Security that goes offline with the grid isn't security.
Power resilience is part of Qyvea's estate security solutions.
| Layer | Role |
|---|---|
| UPS | Instant switchover so nothing reboots when the grid drops |
| Battery bank | Hours of runtime for the security load |
| Solar | Recharges the batteries daily and reduces grid dependence |
| Automatic changeover | Switches cleanly between grid, solar/battery and generator |
When one team designs both, the backup is sized for the real load, the equipment is on protected circuits, and there's one company responsible when something fails at night.

It depends on the battery capacity and the load. Backup is sized for the runtime the estate specifies, for example through a typical evening outage.
For many security loads, solar with batteries can carry most of the day-to-day demand, with the grid or a generator as backup. Sizing is done per site.
Many gate motors have their own batteries, but the controller, barrier, readers and cameras at the gate also need backup.

We measure the security load and size UPS, batteries and solar to match.
