Frequently Asked Questions — Unmanned Vehicle Surveillance

Is unmanned vehicle surveillance legal in Pennsylvania?

Yes — when performed by a licensed private investigator and conducted from a lawful vantage point. Our investigators ensure every deployment complies with Pennsylvania law and avoids areas where there is a reasonable expectation of privacy, such as inside a home or bathroom.

How much does unmanned surveillance cost?

Unmanned surveillance is significantly more cost-effective than traditional manned stakeouts because it provides continuous 24/7 monitoring without paying hourly investigator rates. At A+ Investigations & Protection LLC, we tailor each deployment to your needs from short 24-hour checks to multi-week surveillance so you only pay for the coverage your case actually requires. Many clients find this approach delivers more hours of coverage for less money compared to standard field surveillance.

What types of cases benefit most from USV deployment?

Unmanned surveillance vehicles are ideal for:

  • Cohabitation investigations — to confirm or disprove someone is living with a partner.
  • Workers’ compensation or disability fraud cases — to document activity that contradicts claimed injuries.
  • Child custody and visitation disputes — to observe exchanges and living arrangements.
  • Skip-tracing / locate investigations — to confirm a subject’s presence before attempting service.
  • Property protection — to monitor theft, vandalism, or trespass after hours.

Corporate investigations — to monitor employee misconduct, unauthorized access, or inventory loss.

Do I have to be present to watch the footage?

No. Our investigators monitor the vehicle remotely and review footage daily. You’ll receive edited clips, time-stamped stills, and a professional report summarizing key events. If needed, we can provide secure live access for authorized clients, depending on cell/data coverage at the site.

How quickly can you deploy a surveillance vehicle?

We can often deploy within 24 to 72 hours of case approval, depending on equipment availability and travel time to the location. For urgent matters, rush deployment may be available — ask when you request a quote.

Can you keep the vehicle on location for more than one day?

Yes. Many of our clients schedule multi-day or week-long deployments to capture a complete picture of activity. Longer deployments often qualify for discounted daily rates.

What happens if suspicious activity is captured?

Our investigators flag relevant events immediately. You will receive notification (if requested) and a secure link to view clips. A detailed report will be prepared summarizing the findings, which can be used in court, hearings, or for internal decision-making.

Is unmanned surveillance discreet?

Absolutely. Our vehicles are selected and staged to blend in with the surrounding environment, reducing the risk of detection and preserving the natural behavior of the subject under investigation.

Legal & Ethical Standards

Our licensed private investigators operate under Pennsylvania law and follow strict standards to protect privacy and evidence admissibility. We do not record in areas with a reasonable expectation of privacy (bedrooms, bathrooms, etc.) and we ensure all surveillance is legally compliant before deployment.

What is unmanned vehicle surveillance?

Unmanned vehicle surveillance involves using specially equipped vehicles that operate covertly without a visible agent. We’ll deploy mobile units fitted with cameras and sensors to monitor a subject’s movements. This technology allows for discreet tracking and long-term observation while minimizing detection and maximizing the thoroughness of the surveillance.

Why use remote mobile surveillance instead of traditional foot surveillance?

Remote mobile surveillance offers significant advantages: vehicles cover more ground, gather data efficiently, and remain less conspicuous. We’ll use these systems to follow subjects over long distances or during extended periods while maintaining professionalism and minimizing risk. This method is ideal for cases where constant monitoring is required without drawing attention.

What kind of technology is used in your vehicle-mounted surveillance systems?

We’ll use advanced cameras, GPS tracking, and remote data collection tools installed in unmarked surveillance vehicles. These systems allow us to stream, record, and analyze real-time movements, providing high-resolution visual data and detailed logs. The technology supports long-term covert monitoring for both corporate and legal cases.

How discreet is the unmanned vehicle during surveillance?

The vehicle is designed to blend in with regular traffic. We’ll configure it so the surveillance equipment is not obvious or invasive, allowing for natural behavior from the target. This level of discretion helps maintain the integrity of the investigation and ensures that the subject is unaware they are being monitored.

Can unmanned surveillance be used for long-term cases?

Yes. We’ll support long-term surveillance by rotating vehicles, managing shifts, and coordinating data collection over days or weeks as needed. This approach is effective for legal, business, or personal investigations that require continuous or repeated observation. The systems are designed to sustain extended operations seamlessly.

Is this type of surveillance legal in Pennsylvania?

Yes. We’ll operate within legal frameworks and follow all relevant local and state regulations. Our investigators are trained and licensed, and the methods used do not involve illegal entry, hacking, or illicit interception of private communications. All data collection is done from public vantage points or legally allowed observation methods.

Do you provide reports based on what the unmanned vehicle captures?

Absolutely. We’ll compile detailed surveillance reports that include time-stamped video, photographs, GPS logs, and narrative summaries. These reports are tailored to the needs of legal, insurance, or corporate clients and can be used to support evidence, litigation, or internal investigations.

How fast can you deploy an unmanned surveillance vehicle?

Deployment depends on location, vehicle availability, and case urgency. We’ll evaluate your case requirements and prioritize rapid deployment for high-risk or time-sensitive investigations. After the initial planning, the surveillance vehicles are deployed professionally with full coordination of route, coverage time, and objectives.

Is unmanned vehicle surveillance more cost effective than human surveillance?

In many long-term or geographically dispersed cases, yes. We’ll reduce personnel costs and risk by using technology-enhanced vehicles that operate longer than traditional foot or pedestrian teams. This automated method can be more efficient, especially when consistent coverage is needed and less manual labor is involved.

How do I start a case that requires unmanned vehicle surveillance?

Simply provide your case details using the secure online case assignment form or by calling directly. Include the subject’s identity, locations, timeframes, and objectives. We’ll review the information, propose a surveillance plan, determine the number of vehicles and duration, and then begin the assignment based on your priorities.
