CyberPower BRG1000AVRLCD 1000VA Intelligent LCD Line Interactive UPS
The CyberPower BRG1000AVRLCD delivers reliable battery backup and surge protection for security system control rooms, AV installations, and network infrastructure. This 1000VA/600W line interactive UPS protects critical equipment from power outages, voltage fluctuations, and surges using Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) and simulated sine wave output. The multifunction LCD provides real-time monitoring of load, battery status, and power conditions, while dual USB charge ports keep mobile devices operational during site work.

Security and AV installations demand continuous uptime. The BRG1000AVRLCD's line interactive topology with single-boost, single-buck AVR corrects undervoltage and overvoltage conditions automatically, extending battery life by minimizing unnecessary switchovers. When input voltage falls outside the 90-148VAC range, the UPS transitions to battery backup seamlessly, delivering 120VAC ±5% simulated sine wave output. At half load (300W), expect approximately 9 minutes of runtime—sufficient to ride out brief outages or execute a controlled shutdown of connected equipment. The mini-tower form factor (3.9 × 9.7 × 10.2 inches) fits under desks, in equipment racks, or on control room shelving without consuming excessive space.
The multifunction LCD eliminates guesswork during site commissioning and troubleshooting. Real-time metrics include input voltage, output load percentage, battery charge level, and estimated runtime remaining. Visual and audible alarms alert to overload conditions, low battery, and fault states. For remote management, the UPS connects via USB (HID-compliant) or DB9 serial interface, compatible with PowerPanel software for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Configure automatic shutdown scripts to gracefully power down NVRs, video management servers, and network switches when runtime falls below a threshold—preventing filesystem corruption and lost footage.
Deploy the BRG1000AVRLCD to protect NVR stacks, PoE switch closets, access control servers, and AV control processors. Five outlets provide both battery backup and surge protection for critical loads (e.g., NVR, managed switch, control panel); five surge-only outlets handle secondary equipment like monitors or charging stations. Ethernet and coaxial pass-through protection extends coverage to network uplinks and CATV feeds, crucial for IP camera networks and cable-based data connections. The two USB charge ports (2.1A shared maximum) keep installation laptops, tablets, and programming tools operational during power events—no need to hunt for wall adapters during late-night service calls.
The sealed lead-acid battery is user-replaceable without tools, reducing service costs and downtime. CyberPower recommends replacement every 3-5 years depending on ambient temperature and discharge cycles. Operating range spans 32-104°F (0-40°C), suitable for climate-controlled server rooms and most telecom closets. UL1778 listing and cUL 107.5 compliance meet North American safety standards for uninterruptible power supplies. ENERGY STAR certification and GreenPower UPS Bypass mode—which routes power directly to outlets when the battery is fully charged and line voltage is stable—reduce energy consumption and heat generation. The unit ships with a 5-year limited warranty and a $350,000 connected equipment guarantee, providing financial protection against damage caused by surges and spikes while equipment is properly connected.

UPS sizing for security installations isn't about matching VA ratings to nameplates—it's about understanding inrush current, power factor, and what happens when a PoE switch with 18 cameras hits the battery. The BRG1000AVRLCD's 600W continuous output handles typical control room loads (4-8 port PoE switch, compact NVR, panel PC) with headroom for startup surges. For PoE deployments, factor 0.7 power factor and leave 30% capacity margin. If you're protecting 802.3bt (PoE++) switches or high-port-count managed switches, step up to a 1500VA model. Always verify runtime at your actual load—manufacturer estimates assume resistive loads, but switch-mode power supplies draw differently. Install PowerPanel software and run a self-test after commissioning to validate battery health and runtime under real-world conditions.
