Service Details
Surveillance-Our
most requested service. Depending on your needs, we offer one- and
two-man surveillance options, as well as half day and
full day surveillance.
Usually started in the early morning hours to obtain an optimum
position for our surveillance vehicles, surveillance is conducted
in a manner to produce high quality video documentation of a claimant's
activity.
Background checks-Advantage can perform complete background
checks based solely on public records.
Reports may consist of criminal history records, civil records
history, previous address histories, vehicle information, as well
as information regarding relatives, businesses, and other assets.
Background checks can be customized to your needs.
Activities Check- An
Activities Check is a precursor to surveillance.
We will physically locate a claimant's residence and determine
if there are potential signs that the claimant may be involved in
physical activity.
We observe lawn and residence condition and check for equipment
that may be needed to maintain residential upkeep.
We also check for vehicles (including recreational equipment) that
may suggest claimant activity.
In addition to physical observation, the investigator will contact
neighbors (using a suitable pretext) to discover further information
about the level of a claimant's activity.
An Activities Check provides the known physical activities of a
claimant at known periods of time to determine when surveillance
will be most su ccessful.
Onsite Investigation
(SIU)-A more specialized form of surveillance. Our investigators
can obtain photographs of the scene of the accident and record statements
from witnesses and the claimant (if possible).
Investigators can also examine equipment and facilities where injury
occurred.
Onsite investigations offer more specific data than video and can
be conducted in conjunction with surveillance, if needed.

our services, please contact us.

Equipment
Advantage
Surveillance, Inc. uses customized, state-of-the-art surveillance
vehicles. Each vehicle is equipped with over $50,000 worth of technology!
The periscope camera allows investigator hands-free mobility. The
mounted cameras, operated by joystick, provide a 360 degree vantage
point at a higher elevation than most personal vehicles.
The periscope technology
also allows an investigator to obtain positive identification of
subject up to 400 yards (a standard hand-held camcorder has a range
of about 100 yards).
The vehicles are designed to blend in easily
as a work vehicle, allowing them to remain undetected for longer
periods of time.
Our fleet of custom designed surveillance vehicles allows each investigator
on staff to utilize the capabilities of this technology on every case.
These vehicles are built on-site in our shop at the corporate office.
If you would like a personal demonstration of our surveillance systems,
please contact us to set up an appointment.

Reports
The main function of our reports is ease of use. At a glance, you
can quickly determine a claimant's activity.
There
are four sections to our surveillance report.
- A one-paragraph synopsis of surveillance details
- Still images of significant areas of concern
- Physical facts (background, weather, vehicles, etc.)
- Timeline-the detailed documentation of surveillance
The reports are thoroughly checked internally for accuracy before
being delivered to you. Accompanying the written report is the actual
video documentation.
The combination of written report and surveillance video allow
you to efficiently decide if claimant's activity needs further review.
All documentation is formatted to be admissible as legal evidence.

Video
Advantage Surveillance, Inc. offers the highest
quality video available. And that's what you need.
The
video captured by our periscope camera technology is television-quality.
That means it is high resolution, creating clear, identifiable images
at a range up to 400 yards!
The steady picture you receive makes the jerky fuzziness of a handheld
recorder a thing of the past.
Depending on your needs,
you can receive your video in VHS, CD or DVD format. The CD and
DVD options allow optimum identification.
