Surveillance Investigation — eyes and ears where you need them

Surveillance Investigation — eyes and ears where you need them

Surveillance is one of the most powerful methods in private investigation. We follow, document, and report — so you have factual evidence rather than suspicions.

Surveillance Investigation (Private)

Suspicions and rumours are not enough — you need facts. Surveillance is one of the most direct and powerful methods for gathering factual evidence about someone's actual activities, contacts, and behaviour. Whether it concerns a partner you do not trust, an ex-partner committing alimony fraud, or a situation where you need certainty about what is going on — SAJ Recherche conducts professional surveillance investigations. Discreet, inconspicuous, and legally watertight.

What we investigate

What do we do during surveillance?

Our investigators carry out surveillance using professional equipment. During mobile surveillance, we follow the subject inconspicuously and document movements, locations, and contacts. During static surveillance, we record who comes and goes at a fixed location. Where possible, we capture observations on camera. All observations are recorded chronologically in a detailed timeline.

When is surveillance relevant?

Surveillance is deployed when factual evidence of someone's behaviour is necessary. This includes partner investigations, alimony cases involving suspected cohabitation, employment-related matters involving doubts about sick leave, housing fraud, stalking, or insurance fraud cases. Surveillance investigations are only permitted when conducted by an agency with a valid Wpbr licence and when there is a proportionate interest.
