That would be a workable solution. Only drawbacks: a bit bulky for the installation location and the AC-DC-AC conversion.Why not use a standard mini ups like this http://www.amazon.com/APC-BGE70-Back-UPS-3-outlet-Uninterruptible/dp/B00KH07WRC

Agree with you on that. I have many APC's in use otherwise; e.g. server.I would trust that any day over any junk sold on ali..the ali units are also way over priced.
The conversion is not an issue.
Instead of trying to find a UPS that powers the Camera at 5V, why don't you use a standard UPS to power the transformer packs that you are using to power the camera?Has anyone come across a mini UPS 5V DC (2A)?
I have wireless Foscam cameras and would like a power backup.
I found a couple of products online. But most are China direct bulk only...
That's a good point - but I think charging a full and unused power pack is quite different than charging one that has a constant load on it. Still, a valid concern, and something to consider (and maybe even question the seller)...^The charging section of the external battery might die after a little while. They're not the best quality and not made to be hooked up days at a time. Just keep that in mind.
Again you could be lucky or unlucky.
