What to do if my FLIR DVR is not receiving power?
- L
  Lisa GarciaAug 8, 2025
  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.
