Eyes on Your Operations
Employee theft, inventory shrinkage, unauthorized access, and time theft cost businesses money and trust. Our covert and overt business surveillance gives you documented facts so you can take corrective, legal, or disciplinary action on solid ground.
Owners call us when shrink keeps rising despite controls, when a delivery route or service vehicle is not where it should be, when after-hours activity shows up on the alarm log, or when an employee on leave appears to be working elsewhere.
Covert Camera Installation
Discreet cameras placed in stockrooms, registers, and work areas, never in restrooms, locker rooms, or other private spaces.
Physical Field Surveillance
Investigators observing delivery routes, fleet vehicles, and off-site employee activity from public places in Indiana.
Loss Prevention
Documenting internal theft with timestamped video and reports to support a termination, insurance claim, or police referral.
How a Business Surveillance Assignment Works
Step 1
Confidential consultation
We learn where the losses are, who has access, and when the problem seems to happen, and we keep knowledge of the investigation to a small group.
Step 2
Surveillance plan
We recommend the right mix: cameras on your premises, field surveillance of vehicles or routes, or both, timed to the windows that matter.
Step 3
Lawful execution
Cameras go only where you have the right to record and employees have no reasonable expectation of privacy. Field work is done from public places.
Step 4
Review and report
We review the footage and notes, separate facts from assumptions, and deliver a report you can act on with HR, counsel, or police.
What You Receive
A written chronological report, the original timestamped video and photographs, a summary of the events relevant to your concern, and recommendations for closing the gaps that allowed the loss.
What's Legal in Indiana
Private investigator firms in Indiana are licensed under Indiana Code IC 25-30 by the Private Investigator and Security Guard Licensing Board. Our license is PI22500020, and you can confirm it on the Indiana license search. Employers may generally use video in work areas they control. Cameras must stay out of restrooms, locker rooms, and changing areas, where recording can violate Indiana's voyeurism law.
Audio recording of conversations nobody consented to can violate Indiana's interception statute (IC 35-33.5) and federal wiretap law, so we generally record video only. Placing a tracker on a vehicle the business does not own or control is restricted by IC 35-46-8.5-1. If a union or employment agreement covers monitoring, your attorney should review the plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I put hidden cameras in my business?
Generally, yes, in work areas you control. Never in restrooms, locker rooms, or changing areas, and audio recording raises separate legal issues.
Can you follow an employee during work hours?
Yes, from public places, to document whether work activity matches what is reported. We do not trespass or record private conversations.
What happens if the surveillance shows theft?
We give you a documented report. You decide, with your attorney, whether to handle it internally, file an insurance claim, or refer it to police.
Do you offer this outside Indiana?
No. Surveillance and installations are fieldwork, and our fieldwork happens in Indiana.
