Lifesafety Power FPO250-B100C8PE4M 250W Power Supply with Battery Backup
Overview
The FPO250-B100C8PE4M is a 250-watt regulated power supply designed for distributed IP camera and access control deployments where continuous operation during AC loss is required. This unit delivers consistent voltage to multiple endpoints and includes battery backup capability, eliminating the need for separate UPS systems in modest multi-camera installations. Typical use cases include small-to-medium warehouse perimeter surveillance, access control installations, and integrated security systems where eight-output distribution simplifies wiring and reduces cabinet clutter.
Electrical Specifications
The unit supplies 250 watts of regulated output capacity across eight independent channels, each capable of delivering current independently—critical for managing mixed loads (cameras at varying current draws, card readers, door locks) without brownout risk. The regulated output voltage maintains stability across your connected devices, protecting against voltage-induced sensor drift or image corruption common in long cable runs. Battery backup integration means surveillance continues even during facility power loss, typically holding up connected cameras for several minutes depending on load and battery capacity.
Deployment Context
Eight separate outputs allow you to zone power distribution—for example, dedicating one channel to exterior domes, another to interior turrets, a third to readers and locks—simplifying troubleshooting and load balancing. This distributed approach is more reliable than radial wiring from a single source because a single output fault doesn't cascade to all endpoints. The FPO250-B100C8PE4M is commonly paired with small-format NVRs and access control systems in installations requiring redundancy without enterprise-scale power infrastructure.
Integration Notes
This unit integrates into standard 19-inch racks or wall-mount enclosures and is compatible with commercial power distribution panels commonly used in security cabinets. Supervision capability enables remote monitoring of power status and load health through integrator control software, alerting technicians to fault conditions before camera loss occurs. Confirm your specific integration requirements—input voltage, load profile, and backup duration—with your system integrator before ordering.
