I'm the Netonix would be doing any voltage up/down conversion you'd need to do in that setup anyway, so I don't really see much advantage to 24v vs 48v one way or the other.
In a setup like that, I'd personally just use the Meanwell SDR-240-24 with a Meanwell DR-UPS40, and do 24v batteries, instead of using the BCMU-360. You need two batteries instead of one then, but it's cheaper and doesn't have the issues Paul mentioned. I don't have any experience with the Tycon webmonitor, but I definitely can recommend using a SiteMonitor.
