Id go with the usb thingie.... and I have a spair laptop that would probebly be able to run it.... but Ive just forked out a load on a fancy PCI card @(
think Ill get an el-cheapo ups on ebay and car battery it then
p.s. its not so much a big deal for the cctv, I dont think anyone creative enough to cut the power would bother breaking in anyway.... but the same power will also power the till, which needs 12v to open
