Question 1

How does surveillance work?

Accepted Answer

Our surveillance operatives conduct discreet observation of subjects, documenting their activities with time-stamped photos and video. We use multiple operatives for complex cases, unmarked vehicles, and blend into environments to remain undetected.

Question 2

How long should surveillance last?

Accepted Answer

Most surveillance operations run 4-8 hours per day over 3-5 days to establish patterns of behaviour. Longer operations may be needed for complex cases. We'll recommend optimal duration based on your specific objectives.

Question 3

Can you follow someone anywhere?

Accepted Answer

We can conduct surveillance in all public places and any private property where we have permission. We cannot trespass or break any laws. International surveillance can be arranged through our global network of investigators.

Question 4

What if the subject spots the surveillance?

Accepted Answer

Our operatives are highly trained in covert surveillance techniques and use multiple team members to avoid detection. If compromised, we have protocols to withdraw and resume surveillance later using different operatives and vehicles.

Question 5

What evidence will I receive?

Accepted Answer

You'll receive a detailed report with chronological logs of all activities, high-quality photographs and video footage, maps showing locations visited, and professional analysis of findings. All evidence is court-admissible.

Question 6

Can you conduct surveillance at night?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we conduct 24/7 surveillance operations. Our operatives are equipped with night vision equipment and thermal imaging cameras for effective observation in low-light conditions.

Question 7

Is surveillance legal?

Accepted Answer

Yes, surveillance in public places is legal in the UK. We operate strictly within the law, respecting privacy regulations and never engaging in harassment or stalking. All evidence is obtained legally and ethically.

Question 9

How quickly can you start an investigation?

Accepted Answer

We offer 24/7 availability and can often begin urgent cases within hours. For surveillance operations, we typically mobilise within 2-4 hours. Bug sweeping and polygraph tests can usually be scheduled within 24-48 hours.

Question 10

How long does a typical investigation take?

Accepted Answer

Timescales vary by case type. Surveillance operations typically run 4-8 hours per day over several days. Background checks take 3-5 business days. Bug sweeps take 2-4 hours for residential properties. We'll provide realistic timeframes during your consultation.

Question 11

How do I know if I'm being bugged or under surveillance?

Accepted Answer

Signs include unusual interference on phones, unexpected battery drain on devices, strange noises during calls, or items moved in your property. Our TSCM bug sweep service uses professional equipment to detect all types of surveillance devices.

Question 12

Can you investigate someone without them knowing?

Accepted Answer

Yes, discretion is fundamental to our work. Our surveillance operatives are trained in covert observation techniques. We use unmarked vehicles and blend into environments to ensure subjects remain unaware of our presence.
