Covert surveillance equipment is no longer a tool of secret agent films, the FBI, and other government organizations. Throughout the digital revolution, the main driving forces have always been decrease in size accompanies by decrease in price, and today these tools are within the reach of the ordinary citizen. It is legally manufactured by many companies and anybody can buy and install it in their home, place of business, or elsewhere. Therefore, many people have begun to consider how covert surveillance equipment can help them and how they should go about purchasing it.
Covert surveillance can be conducted by physical means (operators on the ground) or using electronic means however it is worth noting that most devices and methods of electronic covert surveillance are illegal in most countries when conducted by civilians. Typically, only law enforcement and military personnel are justified in using covert electronic surveillance devices.
Covert surveillance systems provide companies and individuals with the discreet information gathering tools designed to make their homes, offices and other properties safer. In addition, this fact finding tool has proven time and time again to be extremely beneficial in workers compensation investigations, corporate investigation (internal and external alike) and a plethora of other issues. The fact is surveillance does not lie and usually provides indisputable evidence in matters of litigation. If your need is small or large, we have the systems and expertise to accomplish the task.
Covert Video Surveillance cameras are often leveraged to track down the perpetrators of past criminal events. This is especially true when the value of past incidents is significant and/or the identity the perpetrator is highly desirable.
Generally, you’d be within your rights to install video surveillance equipment in any areas where your employees interact with customers. Most state laws differentiate between these “public spaces” and areas that your workers would likely perceive as their personal work areas. For example, if you own a service station, you’d probably be within your rights recording the area around the pumps, the garage area and even the front-office area where you keep your cash register. However, if your manager has an office of his own tucked away behind the front office, this may be off limits, according to some state laws.
Prior to implementing a video surveillance system or, for that matter, any new program with privacy implications, institutions should seek legal advice and consult with their Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Co-ordinator. Management Board Secretariat’s Information and Privacy Office is a useful resource for Co-ordinators.

In a world where everyone has a digital camera or HDTV, many people already recognize the need for high resolution images. This should be no different with your covert camera. The last situation you need is to catch a criminal act on video but then be unable to identify the individual clearly due to the poor resolution from your cheap camera. To combat this, always make sure you are getting a camera that captures 740 x 480 lines of resolution or more. Anything less and you may have a hard time making out details, especially in low light situations.
Overt cameras and signage provide the immediate benefit of deterrence, while the covert cameras are nearly impossible to discover and disable. Since retaliation against cameras can occur in crime plagued areas, this combination of overt and covert cameras is important to protect the system investment. Covert cameras can also prove invaluable to protect investments in any overt security camera system. Thus, Covert security cameras can also be a key first or second phase of an overall solution.
Covert cameras can be placed in items as small as a pen and simply look like a pencil dot on a wall or other item. They can be concealed in smoke detectors, lights, or just about any item. This concealment can aid in covert installation.
