Private Investigators – Checking for Counter Surveillance

Tuesday, September 28th, 2010

Private investigators and private detectives are not the only ones who are capable of using the latest technology in the field of surveillance. Anyone who has the funding or budget to purchase different devices that are utilised in surveillance can or might utilise such a device to survey the private investigator or private detective who is assigned to a case. The process of conducting surveillance against the person who is also carrying out surveillance on a person in an enquiry is called counter surveillance. The main focus of counter surveillance is to conduct surveillance on people suspected of conducting an investigation or surveillance. The main “victims” of counter surveillance are of course the private investigators and private detectives. This is why many private investigators and private detectives have to devise ways to detect counter surveillance devices which could compromise the outcome of their case or worse may risk the life of their client or even their own lives.

The first step in counter surveillance detection is to find and identify any surveillance devices that may be installed in the private investigators’ office. This is why a counter surveillance check or sweep is an essential regimen for private investigators and private detectives. The following are some of the items or objects that should always be checked by private investigators and private detectives.

The first one is to check or detect different GSM/GPS surveillance and tracking devises and conduct a GSM/GPS surveillance signal sweep on a mobile phone and also scrutinise it properly.

Secondly conduct a physical search in your office. Always look for something that is considered to be odd. Physical search can reveal hidden CCTV cameras as well as audio cameras.

With these two counter surveillance sweep techniques private investigators and private detectives can assure that their cases are not compromised.

Private investigators and private detectives are more often than not risking life and limb when they are on the field. This is because of the fact that they do not know the dangers that they may encounter during the course of their investigation. This is the reason why being a private investigator or private detective is not easy; it entails years of training and actual field experience before one can truly become a private investigator or private detective. These years in training give the private investigators and private detectives the natural instinct on how to solve specific problems and this also helps them develop their own investigation strategies and techniques. It is however a known fact that private investigation is not only dependent on experience or training; this is due to the fact that there might be situations where the private investigator or private detective’s training would be deemed to be useless or ineffective. This is the reason why private investigators and private detectives have to augment their training and experience in the field through the use of different investigation or surveillance gadgets.

One of the most useful surveillance gadgets that private investigators and private detectives are utilising is the recording system and with the advent of wireless technology they have developed the wireless 12 channel recording system. This device was developed as a product of extensive research and that it is utilising the latest surface-mount technology which provides for the best covert telephone recording system. It has an easy to conceal miniature telephone transmitter which can be placed in a telephone socket or in the internal mechanism of the telephone itself. The receiver has an intelligent mechanism which only starts to record when the telephone where the transmitter is installed. It has the capacity of transmitting audio recording within three hundred metres which could make the private investigator and private detective gather data without having to put him or herself into direct danger.

Private Investigators – Vehicle Tracking Device

Wednesday, September 22nd, 2010

Conducting a private investigation would sometimes require the private investigator or private detective to conduct a surveillance of the person in question or the person being investigated. Conducting surveillance, however, must be made with the utmost care and diligence in order to prevent the target person from detecting or noticing the surveillance being conducted on him or her. This is the reason why private investigators and private detectives must employ all, if not most, strategies that were learned by the private investigator or private detective during his or her training or from his or her own experience. Sometimes, however, relying on pure instinct is not enough. There may be instances where the private investigator or private detective may be put in a situation that would require more than experience or more than what he or she learned during the training. This is why private investigators and private detectives would augment their capabilities using different investigation gadgets. One of the situations that would require more than the skills and experience of a private investigator and private detective is the field of vehicle tracking.

There are times when the investigation or surveillance is expanded in scope due to the fact that the person being investigated is mobile most of the time or is always changing his or her location. In situations where tailing the person’s vehicle is not possible the C.A.T. vehicle tracker gadget is utilised. The C.A.T. vehicle tracker is a reliable device that helps private investigators or private detectives ascertain the whereabouts of the person that is the subject of the investigation by tracking the location of his or her vehicle. The C.A.T. Vehicle tracker is equipped with the latest in battery technology giving the device an extended battery life; the C.A.T. vehicle trackers’ battery life has been doubled which increases the number of usable days of the device to fourteen (14) days. Since time is always a factor in surveillance the C.A.T. Vehicle tracker is capable of easy and quick recharging mechanism. Finally, the C.A.T. or Covert Asset Tracking device is capable of easy SIM change whenever the SIM card needs to be replaced. With these capabilities private investigators and private detectives could therefore increase the efficiency of their surveillance.
