What is Surveillance? ​

Surveillance is the monitoring of behavior, many activities, or information for the purpose of information gathering, influencing, managing, or directing.​

​

Why Would You Need Surveillance?

Surveillance is used to monitor and gather information about a person, place, or activity, primarily to prevent crime, aid in investigations, protect property, by deterring malicious activity and providing evidence when needed. 

​

Types of Surveillance: 
Depending on the type of investigation, the following types of surveillance can be used:

​

Mechanical or Human – Mechanical surveillance uses equipment deployed by the investigator, such as cameras and video cameras, binoculars, voice recorders, and other equipment that help monitor the activities of the person under investigation.

Overt or Covert – Overt surveillance includes the use of visible security cameras while covert surveillance is undetected and could include an undercover detective or hidden cameras.

Stationary or Mobile – In some scenarios it may be necessary for the investigator to follow the person under surveillance. In a stationary surveillance situation the investigator will remains in one location or spot. With mobile surveillance the investigator actively follows the person under investigation, either on foot or in a vehicle or even an aircraft if need be.
