What is Surveillance?

Surveillance is the art of monitoring the activity of something.  Surveillance is the practice of many insurance companies in following, photographing and video-taping an injured person in hopes of catching them doing something that appears to be inconsistent with their physical limitations based on their injuries. This can be very damaging evidence in attacking the credibility of an injured person. The systematic investigation or monitoring of the actions or communications of one or more persons.

Surveillance is commonly used to describe observation from a distance by means of electronic equipment or other technological means. Examples of surveillance include:
 

Physical surveillance Subject trailing or watching Eavesdropping Telephone tapping Directional microphones Covert listening devices or "bugs" Miniature camera surveillance Closed-circuit television GPS tracking Electronic tagging Closed-Circuit  television images Military reconnaissance Internet and computer surveillance
