What is Covert Surveillance? Not just Spy Cameras!

Covert surveillance refers to the discreet observation or monitoring of individuals, activities, or environments without the knowledge of those being observed. This type of surveillance is often employed to gather evidence, assess situations, or ensure safety while maintaining a low profile. It can involve various techniques and tools, such as:

  1. Video Recording: Using hidden cameras (spy cams) to capture footage without drawing attention.

  2. Audio Recording: Employing discreet microphones to listen in on conversations.

  3. Tracking Devices: Using GPS or other technologies to monitor the movements of individuals or vehicles.

  4. Undercover Operations: Having individuals blend into a specific environment to observe behaviours or gather information.

Covert surveillance can be utilized by law enforcement, private investigators, businesses (for employee monitoring), and individuals for various purposes, such as ensuring safety, gathering evidence, or verifying information. It is important that such activities are conducted ethically and within legal boundaries to respect privacy rights.
