Hey guys,
I create short videos for online view. At many of the locations I visit there is no power source. I recently purchased a CCTV system for my online series when it was brought to my attention that many of my locations have no power source.

I was wondering if a UPS would be affective for cameras (or other devices) and how long would they last?

While I understand that my hand-held cameras will work just fine there are even times where I need an external power source besides their batteries to keep them going.

Along with the above question, are there any other power sources you could recommend?

A reasonably sized power inverter (DC-AC converter box) and a deep-cycle marine battery of the largest size you can haul. Might need a hand-truck for that battery.

As to duration, figure out how many watts you're drawing with all your stuff, go to the APC site and run their calculator.
