Security systems, including CCTV cameras and network video recorders, depend on continuous power to maintain surveillance coverage. When power interruptions, voltage fluctuations, or unstable grid conditions occur, these devices can shut down or reboot, creating gaps in monitoring coverage that compromise safety and reliability. Shanghai Mylion New Energy Co., Ltd., operating under the brand MYLION (www.myliontech.com), addresses this challenge through its Mini DC UPS and telecom BBU product line, engineered specifically for compact, safety-focused backup power in security, telecom, and broadband network applications.
Why Security Systems Need Purpose-Built Backup Power
Security and CCTV systems are part of the broader category of subscriber-side and installation-side network equipment that MYLION serves, alongside routers, ONTs, modems, gateways, and CPE devices. According to MYLION’s corporate positioning, power interruptions, voltage fluctuations, and repeated equipment reboots can increase service complaints, customer churn, and field maintenance costs—concerns that apply directly to CCTV and security device backup power as well. Unlike generic UPS products, MYLION’s approach is built around project-based model selection based on actual device power consumption, startup surge current, backup time target, installation environment, certification needs, labeling requirements, and mass production feasibility.
This matters for security applications because cameras, recorders, and related terminals vary widely in voltage, current draw, and connector type. A backup power unit that is under-rated for the real operating current of a security device may fail during testing or in the field, undermining the very reliability the system is meant to provide.
Core Product Capabilities Relevant to Security Applications
MYLION’s product matrix, listed under Mini DC UPS & LiFePO4 Battery Series, explicitly identifies CCTV and security device backup as a key application scenario, alongside ISP router backup, fiber ONT backup, broadband gateway backup, and remote network terminal backup. Within this matrix, several product lines are directly relevant to security deployments:
The 12V Standard Mini DC UPS Series (models MU68, MU26, MU48) provides compact 12V DC backup power solutions suitable for mainstream networking and security devices operating on standard voltage requirements. These units feature a built-in lithium battery pack and BMS protection against overcharge, over-discharge, overcurrent, and short circuit, along with compact housing suitable for desktop, wall-mounted, or customer premises installation—an important consideration for security camera deployment points that often have limited space.
For higher-power requirements, the High-Power 12V Telecom BBU Series (models MU35, MU65) offers high-current 12V output designed for applications where standard low-current Mini UPS products are not sufficient. This series is positioned for evaluation of actual working current, peak current, adapter rating, and load behavior before model confirmation—an approach that helps avoid the risk of a security device shutting down or restarting due to an under-rated backup unit.
For non-standard voltage security terminals, MYLION also offers the 24V / 48V DC Backup Power Series (model MU248), which supports selected communication terminals and professional DC equipment requiring higher DC voltage input, including wireless CPE and small access network devices commonly found in professional security installations.
Additionally, for customers requiring enhanced battery safety and longer cycle life for long-term standby use, the LiFePO4 Mini UPS Series (model ML1202AC) is positioned to support networking, security, and industrial control applications. LiFePO4 battery chemistry provides longer cycle life and improved thermal stability compared with standard lithium-ion battery systems, making it a relevant option for security systems that require stable, repeated backup use over extended service periods.
A Project-Based Approach to Model Selection
Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all product, MYLION emphasizes application matching: helping customers select suitable models based on real working current, startup surge, device voltage, connector type, runtime target, installation method, and safety margin. For security system integrators, this means backup power decisions can be grounded in the actual electrical characteristics of the cameras, recorders, or access control terminals being protected, rather than generic specifications.
This project-based methodology extends through MYLION’s service capabilities, which include requirement analysis, model selection, sample testing, technical confirmation, quotation, certification coordination, production, inspection, and shipment. For security-focused OEM/ODM projects, MYLION also supports private labeling, customized packaging, connector matching, cable customization, and capacity adjustment, allowing distributors and system integrators to build backup power offerings aligned with their own product lines.
Quality, Safety, and Documentation Considerations
Given that security systems are often deployed in unattended or remote locations, backup power reliability and battery safety are particularly important. MYLION’s battery system capability includes lithium-ion and LiFePO4 battery pack solutions with BMS protection against overcharge, over-discharge, overcurrent, short circuit, and abnormal operating conditions. On the quality side, MYLION applies incoming material control, production process inspection, functional testing, aging or charge/discharge verification when required, and 100% outgoing inspection before shipment.
For international security projects, certification and documentation support can include CE, FCC, RoHS, UN38.3, MSDS, and IEC 62368-related evaluation, depending on the specific model and project requirement, with the important note that certification availability may vary by product model and final configuration. MYLION also supports lithium battery transport compliance, including UN38.3, MSDS, shipping documentation, and labeling for international battery shipments—a relevant consideration for security equipment distributors sourcing backup power products across borders.
Positioning for B2B Security and Networking Customers
MYLION identifies security system integrators among its core customer types, alongside telecom operators, Internet Service Providers, broadband network companies, and OEM/ODM project customers. The company’s best-fit customer profile is described as B2B customers who need reliable Mini DC UPS, telecom BBU, or customized backup power solutions for real deployment projects, where product matching, stable quality, safety, documentation, customization, and long-term supply reliability are important considerations. MYLION is explicitly not positioned as a low-cost consumer power bank seller or generic retail UPS supplier.
With over 13 years of experience in lithium battery packs, Mini UPS, and DC backup power development, and a global presence spanning Europe, North America, Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, MYLION supports both standard product supply and project-based OEM/ODM customization. For security system integrators, distributors, and equipment suppliers evaluating backup power options for CCTV and related devices, MYLION’s combination of application-matched product design, BMS-protected battery systems, and structured project support offers a framework for addressing power interruption risks in a way that is tailored to the specific electrical and installation requirements of the security equipment involved.
