Sometimes you just need to know what’s really going on. Whether it’s an employee claiming workers’ comp while posting gym selfies, a business partner meeting with competitors, or an ex-spouse whose “unemployment” doesn’t match their new Mercedes – surveillance gets you answers that confrontations and accusations never will.
We’ve conducted over 3,000 hours of surveillance across Southern California since 2012. From insurance fraud to corporate espionage, from stalking cases to missing persons – when you need to know what someone’s really doing, we document everything legally and discreetly.

- Corporate/Business Surveillance – Employee theft, non-compete violations, industrial espionage
- Domestic Surveillance – Infidelity, teen activity, elderly care monitoring

Advanced Surveillance Techniques & Technology
Modern surveillance isn’t some guy in a trench coat with binoculars. Here’s how we get results without detection:
- Mobile Surveillance Units – Unmarked vehicles with tinted windows and recording equipment
- Static Surveillance Posts – Long-term monitoring from fixed positions
- Multiple Investigator Teams – Rotating personnel to avoid detection
- 4K Video Documentation – Crystal clear footage, even at distance or night
- GPS Tracking (where legally permitted) – Real-time location monitoring
- Drone Surveillance – Aerial documentation for large properties or remote areas
- Covert Cameras – Temporary placement in legal locations for extended monitoring
- Digital Surveillance – Social media monitoring and online activity documentation
Every technique follows California privacy laws and produces court-admissible evidence.
Common Surveillance Investigation Scenarios
After thousands of surveillance hours, here are the cases we see most often:
Workers’ Compensation Fraud That back injury keeping your employee home? We’ve caught “disabled” workers playing basketball, moving furniture, and working other jobs. Insurance companies love our documentation.
Business Intelligence Your sales manager keeps having “dentist appointments” every Tuesday? Might be meeting with competitors. We’ll document who they’re really seeing.
Infidelity Confirmation Those business trips, late meetings, new gym routine – we document where they really go and who they’re with.
Teen Activity Monitoring Worried your 16-year-old isn’t really at “Sarah’s house studying”? We verify without them knowing.
Elderly Care Verification Concerned about Mom’s new caregiver? We document the level of care and any concerning behaviors.
Asset Location Ex claims they’re broke but drives a new car? We track hidden assets for divorce proceedings.

Why Professional Surveillance Beats DIY Attempts
Think you’ll just follow them yourself? Here’s why that’s a terrible idea:
- You’ll Get Caught – They know your car, your face, your patterns. Game over.
- Legal Problems – Stalking charges, restraining orders, harassment claims against YOU
- Inadmissible Evidence – Your shaky phone video won’t hold up in court
- Emotional Decisions – You’ll confront them too early and blow any chance of evidence
- Limited Coverage – You can’t watch 24/7 or follow into restricted areas
- No Experience – Professional surveillance is an art. First-timers always fail.
- Safety Risks – Following someone can lead to dangerous confrontations
One client tried following her ex herself. He filed a restraining order. She hired us instead and we documented his daily drug deals within a week – evidence that changed their custody arrangement completely.
The Surveillance Investigation Process
- Initial Consultation – Call (714) 504-5554 for confidential case assessment
- Intelligence Gathering – Collect subject information, patterns, vehicles, associates
- Surveillance Planning – Develop strategy based on objectives and subject’s routine
- Pre-Surveillance Reconnaissance – Scout locations, identify challenges, position resources
- Active Surveillance – Begin documentation with photos, video, detailed logs
- Real-Time Adaptation – Adjust tactics as situation develops
- Evidence Compilation – Create comprehensive report with all documentation
- Client Delivery – Secure transfer of evidence and strategic consultation
Legal Considerations for California Surveillance
Understanding what’s legal keeps evidence admissible and you protected:
- Public Space Doctrine – Legal to observe/record anyone in public areas
- No Trespassing – We never enter private property without permission
- Two-Party Consent – California requires consent for audio recording (we focus on video)
- GPS Tracking Laws – Only permitted on vehicles you own or have legal authority over
- Workplace Surveillance – Special rules apply for employee monitoring
- Privacy Expectations – Can’t record where reasonable privacy expected (bathrooms, bedrooms)
- Harassment/Stalking Laws – Professional PIs have exemptions when hired for legal purposes
We know exactly where the lines are and never cross them. Every piece of evidence we gather stands up in court.
