      First, check all power cables to ensure they are correctly and securely connected, including the power adapter at the back of the unit. Make sure the power switch is in the ON (I) position. If the DVR is connected to a power bar or surge protector, try plugging it directly into a wall outlet. Finally, confirm that the outlet has power by testing it with another device or trying a different outlet.

    Why there is no picture on some channels of my FLIR DNR400 DVR?

      Frank JohnsonAug 31, 2025
      If there is no picture on selected channels or a camera picture is not being displayed on your FLIR DVR, the most likely cause is related to the camera connections. Check the camera video cable and connections at both the system and the camera. Try disconnecting and reconnecting the cable. You can also try moving the camera to another channel or use another cable to rule out a faulty cable or port.
