Surveillance photography and video are critical components of private investigation services. They involve the systematic and discreet capture of visual evidence to support investigations. Here's a short description of these techniques:

​

• Surveillance Photography: This entails the skillful use of cameras to document a subject's activities, movements, and interactions in public spaces. Private investigators may use various types of cameras, including digital, video, or specialized equipment for long-range or covert photography. The goal is to capture clear and relevant images that can serve as evidence in an investigation.

• Surveillance Video: This involves recording a subject's actions in real-time using video cameras. The footage can provide a more comprehensive view of a subject's behavior and activities over an extended period. Video surveillance is particularly useful in situations where detailed documentation is necessary.

​

Both surveillance photography and video play crucial roles in a variety of investigations, including those related to infidelity, insurance fraud, legal cases, and corporate espionage, among others. However, it's important to conduct surveillance ethically and within the boundaries of applicable laws and regulations, respecting privacy rights and maintaining confidentiality.
