COMMON TYPES OF SURVEILLANCE
ELECTRONIC SURVEILLANCE

documentation private investigators most often
use. It involves utilizing devices like television,
wiretapping, and radios to document activity. It
also includes monitoring an individual’s use of
their phones, email, and social media.
COMMON TYPES OF SURVEILLANCE
PHYSICAL OBSERVATION
Physical Observation is when investigators
physically follow or watch a subject. This can
potentially involve disguises, stakeouts, and
multiple investigators.
COMMON TYPES OF SURVEILLANCE
INTERVIEWS
Interviews are conducted by investigators to
discover as much information as possible about
the subject. The people interviewed could include
family members, neighbors, friends, or coworkers.
COMMON TYPES OF SURVEILLANCE
TECHNICAL SURVEILLANCE
Technical Surveillance encompasses digital
photography and video/audio recordings.
Examples of these are surveillance cameras used
by businesses and dash cameras used by both
police officers and private investigators.

following their subjects, whether on
foot or in a vehicle. Stationary
investigation is remaining in one
location, which could include watching
the subject from a parked car.

other such equipment. Human
