There are plenty of ways that money could have solved this though. More thorough prep/training for camera operators, so they can pan the camera according to a plan, instead of by reaction. Maybe this camera operator wasn't suppose

Power outages here tend to last an hour or more. A UPS doesn't last forever, and depending on how much home compute you have, might not last long enough for anything more than a brief outage. A UPS doesn't magically solve things.
