Using PoE (Power over Ethernet) to power cameras helps keep them running during a power outage because PoE cameras are centrally powered from the Ethernet switches, which are often backed up by an uninterrupted power supply (UPS). This means that in the event of a power failure, the UPS can provide temporary power to the switches and, consequently, to the connected PoE cameras, ensuring continuous operation.

Wait, do PoE cameras really need backup batteries? That sounds off.

PoE cameras are powered through Ethernet, so they can stay on during outages!

I feel like option D could be misleading since it implies only the server needs backup power, but I thought all devices should be considered.

I vaguely recall a practice question about PoE and backup power, but I can't remember if it was about batteries or UPS.

I think option B sounds right because it talks about Ethernet switches being backed up, which makes sense for keeping cameras running during outages.

I remember something about how PoE can centralize power, but I'm not sure if it specifically mentions UPS in the options.
