Include these details
-
Company, site, building, floor, and camera name or number.
-
Whether the problem affects live video, recorded video, export, playback, login, image quality, motion, or one viewing station.
-
The first known time and at least one exact example timestamp with timezone.
-
Whether one camera, a group, one recorder, one user, or the whole site is affected.
-
Any power, network, construction, weather, software, password, or equipment changes near the start time.
Safe checks before submitting
-
Confirm the viewing device has normal network access and the application is not paused on an old image.
-
Try another authorized camera or workstation to narrow the scope.
-
Record visible indicators without unplugging, rebooting, resetting, or moving security equipment unless DSE directs you.
-
Attach a redacted screenshot and note the application, device, and browser version when relevant.
-
Do not include recorded video of unrelated people unless it is necessary and authorized for the request.
Finish the troubleshooting intake
-
Review the site, device, user, example time, scope, impact, and safe checks for accuracy.
-
Remove secrets and unrelated customer information from every note, screenshot, photo, and attachment.
-
Submit one complete request and keep the DSE-###### confirmation number.
-
Reply on that ticket with meaningful changes instead of opening a duplicate request.
Before you leave this guide
- Confirm context. Recheck the DSE domain, signed-in account, company or site, ticket number, device, and request type shown on screen.
- Confirm the result. Perform one harmless verification and make sure the visible status matches what you expected.
- Keep the reference. Save the DSE-###### ticket number, confirmation, or other safe reference needed to continue the same conversation.
- Stop on a mismatch. Do not repeat a high-impact action. Preserve a safe screenshot, note the time and exact error, refresh once, and update or open the correct DSE ticket.
