Surveillance is the act of discretely following someone as they move through their daily routine, obtaining video documentation of their activities. Surveillance typically begins in the morning, with the investigator discretely watching the subject’s residence. A well prepared investigator will know when the subject drives and have a digital image ready for reference on a tablet or smart phone to confirm they are watching the correct person. Generally, the camera is focused upon the whole of the subject so to obtain a full body view as they perform whatever physical activity in which they are engaged. ©
