12 V and 24 V DC power sources are becoming increasingly popular compared to 24 V AC because it is easier to back-up DC with batteries. DC power systems can be directly connected to battery backup systems without the need for conversion, making the implementation simpler and more reliable during power outages. This efficiency in backup capability is one of the primary reasons for the shift from AC to DC in many applications, including surveillance systems.

Surge protection was mentioned in our notes, but I’m not clear if that’s a significant factor compared to the others.

I feel like we had a practice question about power loss in cables, and I think DC does have advantages there, but I can't recall the specifics.

I think we discussed how battery backup systems are easier with DC, so option B might be the right choice here.

I remember studying that DC is often more efficient for low-voltage applications, but I'm not sure if that's the main reason for its popularity.
