What to do if my FLIR Network Hardware is not receiving power?

  If your FLIR Network Hardware isn't receiving power or powering up, first ensure all cables are correctly and securely connected, including the power adapter at the back of the unit. If the connections are good, confirm the system is powered on by checking the LED indicators. If it's connected to a power bar or surge protector, try plugging it directly into a wall outlet. Finally, test the outlet by plugging another device into it to confirm the outlet is working.
