GIDEON Series DC UPS Solutions Address Growing Global Power Grid Instability

As power grids in Africa, the Americas, and other emerging markets enter periods of high-frequency fluctuations, stable power supply has become a critical factor for digital infrastructure. Routers, surveillance cameras, and IoT sensors can all experience operational interruptions or data risks when faced with power outages or unstable voltage.

In this context, the market demand for DC UPS (Direct Current Uninterruptible Power Supply) with fast switching capability and stable output continues to grow. To meet the needs of different power levels and voltage configurations, the GD series has launched three differentiated models, providing precise backup power solutions for various applications.

Global Grid Instability Highlights Vulnerability of DC Devices

Since 2026, many regions have experienced repeated grid disruptions: from multiple blackouts in West Africa to large-scale outages in South America due to extreme weather, and regional power failures in North America triggered by winter storms. The unpredictability of power supply is increasing.

Notably, many core devices in modern network and security systems—such as routers, IP cameras, access control systems, and IoT gateways—rely on low-voltage DC power. These devices often lack built-in batteries, making them the most vulnerable points during outages.

GD Series DC UPS Product Line: Coverage from 18W to 36W

1. GD-DC-UPS-18W Single-Port Version

This model features a single DC output port, supporting 9V / 12V manual switching to deliver stable DC power.

• Key Features: Simple design, reliable output, easy deployment

• Typical Applications:

  • Single routers

  • Standalone surveillance cameras

  • Access control devices

  • Small network terminals

Recommended for users with few devices, fixed voltage requirements, or those seeking basic backup power in home or small office environments.

2. GD-DC-UPS-18W Multi-Port Version

With the same 18W total power, this version integrates three independent outputs (5V / 9V / 12V) for multi-voltage concurrent supply.

• Key Features: Multi-voltage output, flexible compatibility, supports multiple devices

• Typical Applications:

  • 12V cameras + 5V sensors combinations

  • IoT gateways + smart terminal devices

  • Small smart home systems

Core advantage: eliminates the need for multiple adapters, enabling multi-device power management with a single unit.

3. GD-DC-UPS-36W High-Power Multi-Port Version

This model increases total output power to 36W and enhances DC/POE port current capacity, suitable for higher-load environments.

• Key Features: High power output, multi-device concurrency, enhanced load capacity

• Typical Applications:

  • Multiple HD IP cameras

  • Small network switch clusters

  • Edge computing devices and gateways

  • Multi-terminal security and network systems

Targeted at professional security systems, small network rooms, and high-reliability deployment scenarios.

Key Selection Principles for Stable Power

To ensure stable and safe operation of DC UPS in practical applications, the following guidelines are recommended:

1. Total Power Matching

Calculate the total power of all connected devices and allow 20%-30% extra margin to accommodate startup currents and peak loads.

2. Voltage and Current Matching

Verify the voltage and current requirements of each device to ensure compatibility with UPS output ports. Mismatched voltage may prevent devices from starting or cause damage.

3. Port Configuration Matching

Select DC or POE port configurations based on device quantity and type to ensure future expandability.

Industry Insight: Backup Power Is Becoming Essential

As global grid stability declines, continuous operation of DC-powered devices is becoming a key metric in infrastructure planning. Compared with traditional UPS systems, DC UPS provides voltage directly aligned with end devices, offering higher efficiency and lower energy consumption in routers, security, and IoT applications. DC UPS products with multi-voltage output, high power density, and flexible port configurations are increasingly becoming standard equipment for small- and medium-sized networks and security systems.
