Digital camera reviews of APC BE350G UPS System
Digital camera Review: Not just for computers
Summary: 5 Stars
I own 4 of these units, purchased over a period of a few years, and have a lot of faith in them. I have one for my computer equipment, but also use them for my Tivo's, XBox, DVD players and LCD TV's. This one keeps my modem and router going. Great protection, and having your DVR on one keeps you from experiencing program interruptions when the power flickers. Highly recommended!Digital camera Review: Protect your Investments
Summary: 5 Stars
Protect your investments against power surges and power outages with the APC BE 350G battery backup. When you spend hundreds or thousands on a home entertainment system then this is cheap insurance. If your light dim or flicker this will keep you up and running without any problems. Do not expect this to run your equipment for more than a few minutes if the power goes out but it will give you enough time to properly turn off the equipment to prevent damage.Digital camera Review: Recommended as a Digital Video Recorder parachute
Summary: 5 Stars
A severe storm came through and damaged the hard drive in our DVR as the electricity went off then on several times in the space of a minute. I called the manufacturer of the DVR and asked what I should do to prevent future storm damage, and was told that I should get a UPS which will act as a parachute to gently allow the DVR to shut down normally. A small unit was recommended, since only a few minutes of backup are needed to protect the DVR. The APC 350VA unit is well suited to this duty, and is reasonably priced.Digital camera Review: Screaming alarm
Summary: 1 Stars
Not pleased with this product. The alarm will sometimes start sounding (a long, high, continuous beeeeeeep), perhaps caused by a power surge in the line, and there's no (practical) way to turn off the alarm except for shutting down your computer and turning off the UPC.
I bought a UPC for uninterrupted workflow during power surges, and instead it causes more hassle than it prevents.
Digital camera Review: UPS does the job
Summary: 3 Stars
When you open this UPS make sure that you hook up the internal battery to the main unit. Otherwise you will think its defective.
