TECHNOLOGY
is an invaluable resource to any professional investigator, especially those who engage in the Art of Surveillance. At the same time, it is just as important for private investigators not to get caught up with technology, and attempt to solve their cases without applying some good old-fashioned sleuthing first, not-to-mention, some common sense.
We use only the highest quality equipment and supplies in order to ensure that we obtain the best evidence possible in each and every case. All of our investigators carry a number of options in order to be ready for the unexpected.
We also utilize some of the most advanced photographic and videographic equipment available to the industry. Some of the tools we maintain in our inventory include:
• Long-range digital photo cameras
• High definition video cameras
• Infra-red, low-light and night-vision scopes & video cameras
• Indoor and outdoor hidden motion-activated video camera systems
• Body-worn and carried hidden video cameras
• Time-lapse VCRs, DVRs, and signal transmitters
• Portable physical security surveillance camera systems
• Night Vision Equipment
• GPS Tracking Equipment (used only in compliance with California State Law).
