Product Overview
For security installers who need dependable power continuity for NVRs, DVRs, and network switching equipment, the Hikvision DS-UPS600 provides a 600 VA/360 W uninterruptible power supply rated for Australian mains voltage. Built around a 12 V/7 Ah sealed lead-acid battery, it bridges power outages with a transfer time of 10 ms or less in either direction, keeping connected devices online without interruption. Featuring overload, discharge, and overcharge protection alongside clearly coded LED indicators, the DS-UPS600 gives installers an at-a-glance read on operating status during site visits. It operates within a 220 VAC to 240 VAC input range, covers both 50 Hz and 60 Hz input frequencies, and maintains regulated output during battery mode within tight tolerances. Compact at 274 mm x 95 mm x 139 mm and weighing approximately 4.2 kg, it fits neatly into equipment racks, server cabinets, or plant rooms. It is well suited to small-to-mid-size security installations where recorder uptime during grid interruptions is a practical requirement.
Key Capabilities
10 ms Transfer Time
With a switchover of 10 ms or less in both AC-to-DC and DC-to-AC directions, the DS-UPS600 keeps NVRs and recorders running through power transitions without triggering a shutdown or recording gap.
600 VA / 360 W Capacity
Sized to support small-to-mid-size security recorder setups, the 600 VA/360 W rating provides meaningful runtime headroom for a DVR or NVR alongside a PoE switch, without over-specifying for the task.
Triple Protection Circuitry
Built-in overload, discharge, and overcharge protection guards both the UPS battery and connected equipment against electrical faults, extending service life and reducing the risk of damage during abnormal mains conditions.
LED and Audible Status Alerts
Colour-coded LED indicators show AC mode (solid green), battery/charging mode (solid red), and overload (flashing yellow). Audible alarms with distinct patterns for charging, low battery, overload, and fault states allow quick diagnosis without a monitor.
Best For
- Security Recorder Protection: The 10 ms transfer time prevents NVR and DVR shutdowns during outages, preserving active recordings and avoiding filesystem corruption from abrupt power loss.
- Small Equipment Room Installations: The compact 274 mm x 95 mm x 139 mm footprint and 4.2 kg weight suit plant rooms, wall cabinets, and shallow server racks where space is limited.
- Sites with Unstable Mains Supply: Input voltage regulation across 220 VAC to 240 VAC and tight frequency tolerance in battery mode make the DS-UPS600 practical where mains quality is inconsistent.
Why Choose the DS-UPS600
The DS-UPS600 is purpose-matched to Hikvision security deployments, delivering a 600 VA/360 W power buffer that sits appropriately between consumer-grade UPS units and enterprise battery systems. The 10 ms switchover time is the specification that matters most in recorder protection: slower transfer units can drop the connected device long enough to trigger a shutdown, while the DS-UPS600 holds the load seamlessly through the transition. The 12 V/7 Ah sealed battery recharges fully within 10 to 16 hours, meaning the unit is ready again quickly after a power event. Overload, discharge, and overcharge protection are built in rather than optional, reducing risk to both the battery and connected equipment. Operating within 0°C to 40°C covers standard equipment room conditions. Available through Security Wholesalers as part of the Hikvision accessories range, the DS-UPS600 is a practical, sized-to-purpose choice for installers who need battery backup without unnecessary complexity.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: Before specifying the DS-UPS600, calculate the combined wattage of all devices you plan to connect, including the recorder, PoE switch, and any local monitors. The DS-UPS600 is rated to 360 W. Staying at or below 80% of that load (approximately 288 W) is good practice to avoid triggering the overload alarm and to maximise battery runtime during an outage. If your connected load consistently approaches or exceeds that threshold, a higher-capacity UPS would be the more appropriate choice.

Ideal Use Cases
NVR and DVR Backup Power
The 10 ms transfer time ensures Hikvision recorders remain online through mains interruptions, preventing recording gaps and protecting stored footage from filesystem errors caused by sudden power loss.
Small Equipment Room or Server Cabinet
At 274 mm x 95 mm x 139 mm and 4.2 kg, the DS-UPS600 fits neatly into compact plant rooms and wall-mount cabinets alongside recorders and network gear without consuming excessive rack space.
Retail and Commercial Security Systems
Small retail sites, offices, and commercial premises running a single NVR with a local PoE switch benefit from the 600 VA/360 W capacity, which provides sufficient headroom to maintain network recording during brief outages.
Sites with Inconsistent Mains Quality
The input voltage regulation across 220 VAC to 240 VAC and frequency regulation to within 0.5 Hz in battery mode help stabilise power delivery to sensitive security equipment where grid conditions are unreliable.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You are protecting a single NVR or DVR with an attached PoE switch and need a compact, straightforward UPS rated for Australian mains voltage (220-240 VAC) with a fast 10 ms transfer time and built-in battery protection.
- Choose a different model if: Your combined recorder and switch load exceeds 360 W, or you require a longer runtime than a 12 V/7 Ah battery provides. In those cases, a higher-capacity UPS with a larger or user-replaceable battery would be more appropriate for the installation.
FAQs
- What is the transfer time of the DS-UPS600, and does it matter for security recorders?
The DS-UPS600 switches between mains and battery power in 10 ms or less in both directions. This is fast enough to hold a Hikvision NVR or DVR online without triggering a shutdown. Recorders are sensitive to power interruptions, and even a brief drop can cause recording gaps or storage errors, so the 10 ms specification is a meaningful practical consideration.
- What battery does the DS-UPS600 use, and how long does it take to recharge?
It uses a sealed 12 V/7 Ah lead-acid battery. After a full discharge, the typical recharge time is 10 to 16 hours. The unit handles recharging automatically once mains power is restored, and the LED indicator changes from solid red back to solid green when the unit has returned to AC operating mode.
- How do I know if the DS-UPS600 is overloaded?
The LED indicator will flash yellow and the audible alarm will sound every 0.5 seconds when the connected load exceeds the unit’s capacity. If this occurs, reduce the load by disconnecting non-essential devices. Operating consistently close to the 360 W limit is not recommended and may reduce battery service life over time.
- Is the DS-UPS600 suitable for installation in a standard equipment cabinet or wall box?
Yes. At 274 mm x 95 mm x 139 mm and approximately 4.2 kg, the DS-UPS600 is compact enough to sit on a shelf or in a shallow rack enclosure alongside a Hikvision recorder. Its operating temperature range of 0°C to 40°C is consistent with typical enclosed equipment room conditions, provided adequate ventilation is maintained.
- Where can I find the datasheet for the DS-UPS600?
