    That's a lot of money for covert video you say? Yes it is. So lets consider setting up our not so sexy camcorder which can be set up remotely and needs only about a 1/4 inch hole in a wall, suitcase or briefcase to shoot quality video for several hours. The limitations here are only battery size, tape length or compact flash card size.
    Cameras used to video tape activities need not be disguised in another object and the only noticeable sign would be a very small hole in a wall or ceiling. These holes provide for video viewing through a pinhole lens that needs only an extremely small opening, about 1/8 inch in diameter.
    Pin hole lenses with compact video cameras attached are very often connected to a device that looks like a fire system sprinkler head that uses a small mirror that functions like a periscope  on a submarine all which allows covert observation of a room and once again is extremely difficult to detect.

The Do It Yourself Detective
Last, but not least, is a GPS satellite surveillance device. These devices also referred to as trackers, allow for mobile surveillance to be performed by an operative from a great distance away without risk of detection. The tracker is placed on the vehicle to be surveilled. Usually these tracking devices are magnetically attached to the inside of a vehicle bumper or on a gas tank. The GPS in the tracker sends a signal via satellite to a computer with a software



package and the target vehicle can be watched in realtime as it travels.  GPS trackers can also be used to track a person. There are small units that could be put into a backpack or a ladies handbag. Children's stuffed animals have also been used to conceal a tracker.
   The tracking devices are a bit pricey anywhere from $500 to $1500 and up, they can also be rented. These devices are rather expensive for most average citizens, but many private investigators have them and I can attest to the fact that they work and are extremely accurate.
   Without going into great detail on all of the many surveillance techniques you should now realize how easy it is for you to be spied upon. It doesn't require sophisticated equipment, or hard to learn techniques, but such assistance is available to just about anyone who has the desire to look at someone else.  Hopefully this website will assist you in determining what is being done against you and allow you to decide what to do about it.
