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.
