The operational question
An outage can stop cameras, the NVR, switches, modem and router. Backing up only one component can still leave the system unreachable or unable to record.
Design implications
Design should identify critical loads, realistic runtime, surge protection and restart sequence. It should also verify that recording resumes after the event.
A better next step
System Health adds recurring verification to identify cameras or storage that did not recover correctly after an interruption.
