Video surveillance is the most frequently used method to monitor and determine whether an individual is engaged in activities that contradict the nature and extent of an alleged injury. Insurance investigations involving workers compensation cases utilize video and still frame photography to determine physical abilities as part of an alleged disability or injury. Surveillance videos provide documentation to ensure no fraudulent or unauthorized activity is occurring.

Video surveillance has provided an accurate account of activities involving domestic cases, when alleged accusations of harassment or matters of adultery, child custody, runaways and family issues are in question.

Video surveillance can provide corporations and business's photographic documentation of evidence when suspecting unauthorized activities of employees concerning possible theft or other fraudulent activities.

All surveillance photography is recorded on 8mm video tapes with copies transferred on to VHS film or DVD disk.
