01Connect to the production customer helpdesk
  1. Open a current browser and go directly to https://helpdesk.dsesecurity.com/.
  2. Confirm the address bar shows HTTPS and the exact dsesecurity.com domain. Stop if the browser shows a certificate warning, a different domain, or an unexpected sign-in page.
  3. Use Support Library or Client Docs without signing in when you need public guidance.
  4. Choose Sign In or Create Service Request when you need to create a portal ticket. Portal ticket creation requires a verified client account.
  5. Use Check Request Status when you have the email address and ticket number for an existing request.
  6. Use helpdesk@detection-systems.com when email is the better intake path or a portal problem prevents ticket creation.
02What to have ready before connecting
  • Your own business email address, full name, company, site, and callback number.
  • A concise issue summary, first known time, affected people or devices, business impact, and safe evidence.
  • The ticket number from the confirmation email when the request already exists.
  • A current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari, or another browser approved by your organization.
03Choose the correct starting point
  • Use Support Library or Client Docs when you want instructions before contacting DSE.
  • Use Create Service Request for a new issue. The production portal requires a verified client account before the ticket form opens.
  • Use Check Request Status when you have the ticket number and the email address used on the request.
  • Use Sign In to see the tickets available to your account and to reply from the portal.
04What a good support request contains
  • Company and site or building where the issue is occurring.
  • Affected person, workstation, camera, door, panel, application, network, or service.
  • What changed, when the problem began, and whether it is constant or intermittent.
  • Business impact, number of affected users or devices, and any safe workaround.
  • Screenshots, photos, exact error text, or event timestamps when they are useful.
05What happens after submission
  • The system assigns a DSE ticket number and sends a confirmation notice when email delivery succeeds.
  • DSE reviews the selected help topic, request details, company, site, and business impact.
  • A technician may reply with questions, troubleshooting steps, scheduling options, or a resolution.
  • Keep related updates on the original ticket so its history remains complete.
