CyberPower
Reliable UPS & Power Distribution — Cost-Effective Protection for Smart Home Infrastructure
Request System DesignOverview
CyberPower Systems delivers reliable power protection and battery backup at price points that make comprehensive power management financially practical for every equipment location in the estate. While premium brands like Panamax and Furman serve the primary AV rack, CyberPower provides dependable UPS protection for secondary equipment closets, network rooms, and remote infrastructure locations.
The Smart App Online series delivers true double-conversion UPS technology — continuously converting AC to DC and back — providing the cleanest possible power output regardless of utility quality. For smart home installations, this means automation processors, network switches, and security systems receive perfectly conditioned power with seamless battery transition during outages.
At Peters Audio Video, CyberPower UPS units protect the networking and automation infrastructure that keeps the estate connected. Network switches, wireless access points, automation processors, and security NVRs receive battery backup that maintains operation during outages lasting minutes to hours.

Specification Review
Choosing CyberPower for Your Home
Compare the specific equipment proposed for your rooms, not the brand name alone. CyberPower families discussed on this page include Online UPS, Line-Interactive UPS, Rack PDUs, Surge Protectors. Availability, model specifications, firmware and third-party integration support need confirmation before a final design.
- Room fit: Request a model-level schedule showing where each component will be used, its mounting and power requirements, and any architectural compromises.
- Integration evidence: Identify the supported connection or driver for each required function. Separate physical compatibility from actual command support and test behavior when internet access is unavailable.
- Complete scope: Compare equipment, infrastructure, configuration, commissioning and documentation together. Confirm subscriptions, licenses, warranty terms and ongoing support separately in the proposal.
Useful project details: The equipment list, proposed rack location, electrical circuits and ventilation arrangements.

How We Install CyberPower
Discovery & Design
Every CyberPower installation begins with a comprehensive consultation. We evaluate your home's architecture, existing infrastructure, and lifestyle needs to develop a detailed system proposal with room-by-room specifications and control interface design.
Architectural Coordination
For new builds and renovations, our team coordinates directly with architects and builders during the design phase — ensuring CyberPower infrastructure (conduit runs, power, equipment closets) is properly planned before walls close.
Professional Installation
Installation requirements depend on the selected CyberPower equipment: mounting, cabling, ventilation, power and configuration are coordinated with the project scope. Documentation records the installed components and relevant connections.
Calibration & Commissioning
After installation, we verify the specified CyberPower functions and system connections. Applicable audio, video or control settings are commissioned for the room, with owner orientation and documentation appropriate to the equipment.
