Disguises are not unusual in surveillance, but getting creative with them can be less common. Instead of the stereotypical trench coat and sunglasses, consider using everyday disguises. For example, posing as a delivery person, utility worker, or even a street performer can help you blend in better and reduce suspicion. The key is to choose a disguise that is relevant to the environment and situation
2. Employ Technology Covertly
While technology is commonly used in surveillance, the less common trick is to use it stealthily. Miniaturized cameras and recording devices can be hidden in everyday objects, like buttons, pens, or clothing, making them less conspicuous to the subject being surveilled. Additionally, using drones for aerial surveillance can be an effective but discreet way to monitor large areas
3. Alternate Routes and Transport Modes
To avoid being detected during surveillance, consider using alternative routes and transport modes. For example, if you’re following someone in a vehicle, periodically switch to public transportation like buses or trains to make it harder for them to detect your presence. Additionally, using bicycles or even walking can help you blend in with the environment better, especially in urban areas where cars may be more noticeable. Also, try to find alternate routes to your subject’s destination to avoid being directly behind them for prolonged periods.
