The Role of Drones and Remote Cameras in Modern Surveillance

Surveillance has evolved—and so have the tools we use to uncover the truth.

At New York Investigations, we harness advanced technology like drones and remote cameras to provide an edge in today’s fast-paced, complex world. These tools allow our investigators to gather clear, court-admissible evidence from vantage points and environments that traditional surveillance alone can’t always reach.

When discretion, range, and precision are critical, tech-driven surveillance delivers results.

Why Modern Surveillance Tools Matter

Traditional surveillance methods—while still essential—have their limits. Urban density, restricted access, and high-risk environments can make close-up observation difficult or dangerous. That’s where modern tools come in.

Drones and remote cameras offer:

  • Aerial and high-angle views

  • Access to hard-to-reach locations

  • Discreet, motion-triggered recording

  • Real-time remote monitoring

  • Extended surveillance without on-site presence

By incorporating technology, we minimize risk, maximize visibility, and enhance the quality of the evidence we collect.


How We Use Drones in Investigations

Our licensed investigators deploy drones in compliance with FAA and New York State laws to support investigations that require a broader perspective or discreet observation from above.

✅ Aerial Surveillance

Drones offer unmatched overhead visibility of properties, rural areas, parking lots, or outdoor meetings—perfect for monitoring movement, vehicle activity, or site visits.

✅ Property and Perimeter Monitoring

We can use drones to track patterns around a location, verify reported activity, or catch unauthorized behavior in areas where physical access isn’t possible.

✅ Construction & Insurance Fraud

Catch false claims or undocumented work progress through drone footage that provides clear timestamps and location verification.

✅ Discreet Observation

With high-resolution zoom and quiet operation, drones allow us to monitor from a safe distance—often without being seen or heard.

How Remote Cameras Strengthen Long-Term Surveillance

When round-the-clock human presence isn’t feasible, remote surveillance cameras provide continuous coverage—without alerting the subject.

📷 Hidden and Motion-Activated Devices

We install small, concealed cameras in legally permissible areas to monitor activity over time, providing indisputable behavioral evidence.

📡 Live Remote Monitoring

Our team can monitor camera feeds in real-time, allowing immediate response and coordination if activity occurs.

📅 Long-Term Evidence Gathering

For cases involving custody, harassment, or cohabitation, remote cameras are ideal for capturing patterns and proving repeated behavior without confrontation.

Use Cases for Drone & Camera Surveillance

Modern tools are highly effective in:

  • Cohabitation & alimony investigations

  • Property vandalism or trespassing

  • Workers’ compensation fraud

  • Child custody & visitation disputes

  • Corporate espionage or misconduct

  • Construction site verification

  • Remote or high-risk areas
