What Is Covert Surveillance?

Covert surveillance is the discreet observation and monitoring of a person, group, or location to gather information and evidence without their knowledge. It can involve physical monitoring, vehicle tracking, or the use of specialist technology. Surveillance is often essential where suspicions exist but proof is needed — providing reliable evidence for personal peace of mind, corporate protection, or legal proceedings.
