CyberPower RCCARD100 Cloud Monitoring Card

A UPS is only as good as the battery. This allows me to automatically get alerts on events, warnings, battery charge and battery health. Batteries need replaced every 3 years or so and this will keep me advised. Easy to install but give yourself a bit to configure and get web link & smartphone app running. Of course bit pricey, but this is not likely a high volume item. I appreciate the peace-of-mind.

Simple to install, these things work great. I bought the cloud PowerPanel from CyberPower for $24 for 3 devices for 3 years. An amazing deal considering how much all other SNMP cards cost. The dashboard shows you the information you need. You can set up alerts and emails. These would be perfect for a home environment.

DOES NOT SUPPORT SNMP OR NUT Setup was easy once you download the app. There is no way to identify the device except to scan the QR code inside the smartphone app which you have to login to just to setup the device. This gets cumbersome when you pop the device into a rack where it is dark and difficult to see. The powerpanel app itself has no way to turn on the light and disables the light if it is already on so I had to find a flashlight to light up the QR code just to scan it. There is no mac address or any ID info listed on the device directly. The device also does not support any local information such as SNMP or NUT. I was hoping even a simple network attachment would be able to perform something that a first gen Raspberry PI Zero released in would be able to perform but this cannot do anything like that. For the cloud connectivity there is no way to pull the information into any system that I could find. I connected the UPS to a USB connection to see if I could configure it using a locally installed windows app. Not only was there no options to configure the network connection but I was also unable to use the USB signaling while the RCCARD100 was installed. Windows did not recognize the UPS as a battery at all. Once I removed the card the windows powerpanel app gave a single option to run for as long as possible or conserve battery for how to handle a power failure event but no configuration options for the UPS itself. I had to uninstall the app to get the device back to normal so that I could use windows to specify to go into standby after 1 minute. So in summary this device is read only and only provides data to a proprietary and poorly built smart phone app. I couldnt find any way to get the battery level information transmitted to a brand name NAS. Also the device requires a subscription after 90 days. Why is it so difficult to get a simple built in connector to provide battery level information to local devices that does not cost around or more than the UPS itself. The locally available equivalent of this card is $324 as of writing this. I paid $283 (on sale) a few months ago for the 1000W/1500VA UPS installed in my rack. The lower wattage 300W UPS I have installed before was around $150 with a $110 addin network connector card but unfortunately it is completely different from this even though it is also Cyberpower. I guess it is time to grab a PI or similar for cheaper than this thing costs and DIY it. Complete E-waste not worth any of your time or money.

Fully compatible with Synology NAS (DSM 7).

So I had to remove my UPS from the rack which meant shutting down everything to change the batteries something that had to happen. While everything was down I installed the cloud card in which I purchased knowing that during the outage I could put it in the unit! Great investment now I can monitor my network rack power from anywhere! Easy to install, easy to setup, and feature rich! It does require a yearly plan I chose the $39 plan they also have $9 a year plan. Either way it was a must have upgrade your compatible cyber power ups!

I prefer this to the WiFi version. The latter disconnects fairly often even when the base station is right next to it. The wired version stays connected ensuring the only alerts you get are from issues with the UPS itself.

Terrible product! It does not support SNMP or NUT making it impossible to self-host the UI; instead, you must use their proprietary cloud service which carries a yearly subscription fee via phone app or online. The only saving grace of this device is it pops right in. Setup just to get to the free trial of the cloud software was awful. I'd stay far away from this device. Unfortunately the only alternative is buying the ~$350 "205" card that allows the self-hosting, but that's as much as my UPS is so that's not going to happen.

Device does what it says but there is no way of interacting with it outside of using the APP and requires a monthly subscription to use.

One can't connect to this card on a local network. The card must be connected to the internet and it can only be accessed by PowerPanel Cloud App in order to do its job. Not only this is a security issue, but the PowerPanel Cloud is a paid subscription. Will return it because, for me, it's useless. What a disappointment...

The CP1350PFCLCD UPS unit is very powerful and efficient. And the CyberPower Cloud Monitoring Card (which is hot-swappable, so it can be installed without stopping the UPS) lets you add a remote monitoring / alert function. Using the related APP, you get configuration details, status, periodic reports and an ability to check the performance of the automatic voltage regulation function. A single UPS system can be monitored with the free account; by way of a subscription, you may expand monitoring functions to multiple systems.

not worth the near $90 for a card that will then require a paid subscription. returning the item today

Card set up was ok, did not realize they send you an email to verify your email acct. Had to replay to that to activate the acct. All fine. Added my UPS and come to find IT WORKS FOR 90 days then they want to charge you to use the product ! It will go back.
