Product Overview
Keeping security equipment online during a power outage is a fundamental requirement for any monitored installation, and the Hikvision DS-UPS1000 is built specifically for that job. Rated at 1000 VA and 600 W, this uninterruptible power supply is designed to bridge short power interruptions and give connected recorders, switches, and other security hardware enough runtime to either continue operating or shut down safely. Featuring a 12 V/9 Ah internal battery, transfer times of 10 ms or less in both directions, and audible plus LED alarms for fault conditions, the DS-UPS1000 provides straightforward, dependable power backup for small to medium security system installations. It accepts Australian mains input across the 220 VAC to 240 VAC range and is compact enough to fit alongside rack or shelf-mounted equipment. The PWM waveform output in battery mode is suited to NVRs, DVRs, and networking hardware typically found in CCTV head-end enclosures.
Key Capabilities
1000 VA / 600 W Capacity
With a 1000 VA and 600 W rating, the DS-UPS1000 can carry the combined load of an NVR, a PoE switch, and supporting hardware through a mains interruption, giving the system time to complete writes and remain operational during brief outages.
Fast 10 ms Transfer Time
The switch from AC mains to battery mode and back happens in 10 ms or less in both directions. This is fast enough to prevent most recorders and networking equipment from registering a power disruption, avoiding unplanned reboots or recording gaps.
Built-In Overload and Battery Protection
The unit includes overload, discharge, and overcharge protection to guard both the connected equipment and the internal battery. This reduces the risk of damage to the battery from repeated deep discharge or from excessive load being placed on the unit.
Audible and LED Fault Indication
Clear LED colour states (solid green for AC mode, solid red for charging/DC mode, flashing yellow for overload) combined with distinct audible alarm patterns for low battery, overload, and fault conditions make it straightforward to diagnose the unit’s status without specialist tools.
Australian Mains Compatibility
Designed for the Australian 220 VAC to 240 VAC mains supply at 50/60 Hz, the DS-UPS1000 requires no voltage adapters or additional configuration for local installation. The AU plug configuration means it connects directly to standard Australian power outlets.
Best For
- NVR and DVR Protection: The 600 W real power rating supports a recorder and associated PoE switch through short outages, preventing recording gaps caused by unexpected power cuts.
- Small to Medium Security Head-Ends: The compact 274 mm x 95 mm x 139 mm footprint allows it to sit alongside shelf or rack-mounted equipment in a security enclosure or server room without requiring dedicated rack space.
- Sites with Intermittent Power: For locations where brief voltage sags or short outages are common, the sub-10 ms transfer time keeps connected equipment running without reboots or data loss.
- Hikvision System Installations: Designed to complement Hikvision recorder and networking products, making it a straightforward addition to existing Hikvision security system deployments.
Why Choose the DS-UPS1000
The DS-UPS1000 is a purpose-matched UPS for security system installations rather than a generic office power backup unit. Its 10 ms transfer time in both AC-to-DC and DC-to-AC directions is particularly important for recorders and PoE switches that cannot tolerate even a brief power drop without rebooting. The built-in three-stage protection covering overload, overcharge, and deep discharge extends battery life over a working installation’s lifetime. At 5.4 kg with a footprint of 274 mm x 95 mm x 139 mm, it is compact enough for wall-mounted security enclosures and equipment shelves. The clear LED status indicators and distinct audible alarms at different alarm intervals mean technicians can quickly identify whether the unit is in normal, battery, low-battery, overload, or fault condition without connecting additional monitoring hardware. Available through Security Wholesalers, the DS-UPS1000 is a straightforward specification choice for installers who need a reliable power continuity solution within a Hikvision system deployment.
Buyer Tip: The DS-UPS1000 is rated at 600 W real power. Before purchasing, add the wattage of every device you intend to connect, including your NVR, PoE switch, and any other load. If your total connected load exceeds 600 W, this unit is not suitable. Also factor in that the single 12 V/9 Ah battery will deliver a limited runtime at higher loads, so this unit is intended to bridge short outages or allow a graceful shutdown rather than extended off-grid operation.

Ideal Use Cases
Security Equipment Rooms
The compact 274 mm x 139 mm footprint allows the DS-UPS1000 to sit on a shelf or inside an equipment enclosure alongside an NVR and switch, providing power continuity without requiring a full server rack installation.
Retail and Commercial Premises
Shops and commercial sites where power disruptions would otherwise cause recording gaps benefit from the sub-10 ms transfer time, which keeps the recorder running continuously without triggering a reboot cycle.
Hikvision NVR and Recorder Deployments
The DS-UPS1000 is designed to integrate cleanly into Hikvision security system installations, providing the power buffer that prevents data corruption or drive damage during unexpected mains failure events.
Locations with Unstable Mains Supply
The overload and overcharge protection mechanisms, combined with audible fault alarms that distinguish between low battery, overloading, and fault states, make the DS-UPS1000 suitable for sites where the mains supply is known to be inconsistent or prone to sags.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: Your connected security equipment, including NVR, PoE switch, and any other loads, totals 600 W or less, and you need a compact, Australia-ready UPS with fast transfer times to prevent recorder reboots during brief power interruptions.
- Choose a different model if: Your total connected load exceeds 600 W, you require a higher VA rating for extended runtime across multiple devices, or you need a true online double-conversion UPS rather than a standby topology for more sensitive equipment.
FAQs
- What is the real power output of the DS-UPS1000?
The DS-UPS1000 is rated at 600 W real power with a 1000 VA apparent power rating. When planning your installation, calculate the actual wattage of all connected devices rather than relying on VA figures. The 600 W limit is the figure that determines how much load the unit can safely carry.
- How long will the DS-UPS1000 keep my equipment running during a power cut?
Runtime depends on the total load connected to the unit. The single 12 V/9 Ah battery provides a limited power reserve, and runtime decreases as the load increases. The DS-UPS1000 is designed to bridge short outages and allow connected equipment to continue operating or perform a safe shutdown, not to provide extended off-grid operation.
- How quickly does the DS-UPS1000 switch to battery when mains power fails?
Transfer time is 10 ms or less in both the AC-to-DC and DC-to-AC directions. This is fast enough that most NVRs, DVRs, and network switches will not detect a power interruption, avoiding unplanned reboots and the associated recording gaps.
- Is the DS-UPS1000 compatible with Australian mains power?
Yes. The DS-UPS1000 accepts input voltage of 220 VAC to 240 VAC at 50/60 Hz, which matches the Australian mains supply. The unit is supplied with an AU plug configuration and requires no adapters or voltage conversion for local use.
- What do the different LED colours and alarm sounds mean?
A solid green LED indicates normal AC operation. A solid red LED indicates the unit is running on battery or charging. A flashing yellow LED indicates an overload condition. Audible alarms vary by condition: every 10 seconds for DC/charging mode, every second for low battery, every 0.5 seconds for overloading, and a continuous tone for a fault state.
- Where can I find the DS-UPS1000 datasheet and is it stocked locally?
The official AU datasheet is available through the link in the Additional Information section below. The DS-UPS1000 is part of the Security Wholesalers range and is available for order with the local AU plug configuration included. Confirming stock availability before ordering is recommended for time-sensitive installations.
