A:AnswerI don't see why you couldn't use a standard UPS backup similar to a computer UPS. You would just need to buy a big enough UPS to support the power required by the cameras and the DVR to run for however long you need or expect to not have power.
I'm not sure what the power draw is on these, but I can't imagine it's very much.
