Traditional insurance manned surveillance investigations usually start with a strategy that could be best described as hit or miss; send an investigator to a claimant’s home residence to document any activity. In many cases the investigator will spend several investigative hours outside the residence before even positively identifying the claimant. Barring extraordinary luck or fortunate circumstances, a good number of investigative hours will be spent waiting for a claimant to exit the residence or exhibit behavior contradictory to their claim. Static cameras don’t rely on luck or good fortunes to obtain evidence, they operate on 24/7 basis to provide valuable evidence and information that regular manned surveillance will most likely miss.

Used as a preliminary investigative tool, the static cameras can divulge critical information and evidence that is useful to determine a strategy moving forward. After a review of the evidence the adjustor or attorney will receive a lengthy full-color report that will identify a claimant or plaintiff’s:

  • Residential Activity
  • Contradictory Behavior
  • Present Schedule
  • Lifestyle
  • Vehicles
  • Family Members
  • Answer to Warranted Further Surveillance

Armed with detailed information about the claimant, the adjustor or attorney can determine when thebest times, dates and circumstances are for future video manned surveillance. More importantly; the cost of a weeklong static camera is less than two days of traditional manned surveillance. Considering all the investigative hours spent waiting for evidence or information to reveal itself with manned surveillance, wouldn’t it make sense to have all the information in front of you before investing in more expensive manned surveillance?
