Discreet surveillance that documents what really happens.

When a situation comes down to what someone actually does — not what they say — professional surveillance is how you find out. We conduct patient, covert observation and capture clear, time- and date-stamped photo and video you can rely on, and, if it comes to it, use in court.

What professional surveillance really involves

Surveillance is the most misunderstood part of investigative work. It is not a camera in the bushes and a lucky photograph — it is disciplined, patient observation by a trained investigator who knows the law, reads a situation as it unfolds, and documents it so clearly that the record speaks for itself.

Every operation is planned around your objective and the realities of the location. We work from unmarked vehicles and lawful vantage points, stay mobile when a subject moves, and record what happens with time- and date-stamped photographs and high-definition video. What you receive is an objective, chronological account of exactly what we observed — nothing embellished, nothing assumed.

What surveillance can establish

  • Whether a partner is being faithful — and with whom
  • Whether an injury or disability claim matches real activity
  • How a parent actually behaves during custody or visitation time
  • Whether an employee is truly unable to work, moonlighting, or misusing leave
  • Cohabitation relevant to alimony or spousal support
  • A subject’s patterns of movement, associates, and daily routine
  • Time- and date-stamped photo and high-definition video
  • A detailed written activity log for every observation

When people call us for surveillance

Different situations, one standard of discretion, patience, and lawful, well-documented work.

Suspected infidelity

When something feels wrong but you cannot prove it, surveillance replaces suspicion with fact — quietly, and with the discretion a personal matter of this weight deserves.

Insurance & workers’-comp fraud

For insurers, employers, and defense counsel, we document a claimant’s real physical activity to confirm — or disprove — the extent of an alleged injury or disability.

Child custody & welfare

When a child’s wellbeing is in question, we objectively document what happens during visitation and parenting time, to the standard a family court will take seriously.

Workplace & disability claims

We help employers address suspected time theft, policy violations, and off-the-clock activity that contradicts a leave or disability claim — factually and defensibly.

How a surveillance operation works

From the first call to the final report, you always know the plan, the progress, and the cost.

01

Consultation & objective

We start with a confidential conversation to understand your situation and define exactly what a successful result looks like — the specific question surveillance needs to answer.

02

Planning & scope

You receive a clear plan: the days and hours we recommend, the approach, and transparent, agreed-upon pricing — all settled before anyone takes the field.

03

Field surveillance

A trained investigator conducts patient, covert observation from lawful vantage points, staying with the subject and capturing time-stamped photo and video as events unfold.

04

Evidence & report

You receive a clear written activity log with the supporting photographs and video — organized, objective, and ready to act on or hand to your attorney.

Surveillance questions, answered

Yes, when it is done properly. A licensed investigator may observe and record a person from public places and other lawful vantage points, where there is no reasonable expectation of privacy. What a professional will never do is trespass, wiretap, plant a tracker unlawfully, or record where privacy is legally protected — because evidence gathered the wrong way is worthless and can expose you to liability. Working lawfully is exactly what makes the results usable.

No. Surveillance is covert by design. The entire point is to observe genuine, unaffected behavior, so the subject is never notified and our presence is kept discreet throughout.

A clear, factual report: a chronological written activity log of what was observed, supported by time- and date-stamped photographs and high-definition video. It is organized to speak for itself — whether it lands on your kitchen table or a courtroom exhibit list.

It depends entirely on your objective and the subject’s routine. Some questions are answered in a single well-timed session; others call for observation across several days to establish a pattern. We recommend a realistic scope up front and never run a meter in the background.

When a matter may end up in litigation, we conduct and document the work to that standard from the start — lawfully gathered, carefully preserved, and clearly reported, with a declaration where appropriate. We regularly work alongside attorneys with exactly this in mind.

Because every case is scoped differently, pricing is set around your objective and the hours involved — and agreed in writing before any work begins. After a free, confidential consultation you will have a clear, transparent quote with no surprises.
