Drone & Aerial Surveillance

Toronto Private Investigators

Drones have transformed surveillance by offering safer, faster, and more comprehensive evidence collection. Our licensed private investigators and drone pilots operate within legal and ethical boundaries to deliver reliable, court-ready results.

New Age Surveillance techniques

Gone are the days when private investigators had to spend hours sitting in a parked car with a camera and zoom lens, as drones provide a more efficient and effective means of investigation. However, it is important to note that privacy laws regarding drone and aerial surveillance are complex and can vary from province to province. This is why it is crucial to engage the services of a licensed private investigator, who is familiar with these laws and ethical codes, to ensure that the investigation is conducted within the bounds of the law for each province or territory.

Private investigators use drones in several ways, including:

  • Pre-surveillance activities: Before starting their investigation, private investigators can use drones to survey the area, identify potential mobile or stationary positions, assess points of egress, and gather other relevant information.
  • Real-time surveillance: Drones can be used to monitor subjects in real-time, especially in rural areas where they can provide a safer alternative to traditional surveillance methods.
  • Scene reconstruction: Drones can be used to create an accurate map of the area being investigated, providing more precise information than what can be obtained from a map app on a mobile device.

  • Locating hidden or difficult-to-reach property: Drones can be used to locate property that may be hidden from view, such as those in a backyard or a deep construction site.
  • Documenting disaster areas or construction sites: Drones can be used to document the extent of damage from a disaster, such as sinkholes or hurricane damage, or to monitor construction sites.
  • Surveying land: Drones can provide a bird’s-eye view of the area being investigated, which is useful for reconstruction purposes.

  • Accessing difficult areas: Drones can reach remote, mountainous, high points, or water-bound areas that may be difficult for private investigators to access, thus expanding their line of sight.
  • Covering a larger area: Drones can cover more ground in less time, allowing private investigators to access areas that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to reach.
  • Cost-effective alternative: Drone and aerial surveillance is a more cost-effective alternative to chartering a plane or helicopter, providing private investigators with a more flexible and efficient means of investigation.
