[ale] OT - Mini UPS backup for Security cameras

[Sergio Chaves]

Hmmmm...

I will check if they are POE capable.
Looking at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_over_Ethernet , this seems
like exactly what I need.

I was trying not to run any data cables due to the complexity of routing
the cable - in a shoestring budget, I will have to do it myself :-( .  Each
camera is like +- 200 feet away from each other and away from the data
room.
But as the old saying goes, sometimes a SysAdmin gotta do what a SysAdmin
gotta do.

Thanks for your input.
