Our Surveillance Process
Every surveillance case follows the same five-part process, whether you are a private client or an attorney preparing for litigation.
1. Confidential intake
We start with a free, confidential consultation. You tell us what you need to know and why, and we tell you whether surveillance is the right tool, what is legally possible, and what it will likely cost. Nothing you share is disclosed to the subject or anyone else.
2. Case planning
Before fieldwork begins, we research the subject’s routine, vehicles, and known locations, then choose the days and times most likely to produce useful results. You approve the plan, the hours, and the budget in advance.
3. Fieldwork
Licensed investigators conduct surveillance from unmarked vehicles and public vantage points, documenting activity with time-stamped photo and video. We work only where the law allows: no trespassing, no recording private conversations, and no GPS trackers without the vehicle owner’s consent.
4. Reporting
You receive a written report with a chronological log of observed activity, supported by the original photos and video. Reports are written so you can act on them and can be delivered directly to your attorney.
5. Confidentiality safeguards
Case details are shared only with the investigators assigned to your matter. The subject is never contacted. Findings are delivered only to you or the person you authorize, and as California-licensed investigators we are legally required to keep client information confidential. For attorney-directed cases, we work under the attorney’s direction to support work-product protections.

Surveillance Questions Before You Hire
Who should I hire for a discreet investigation in San Diego?
Hire a California-licensed private investigator. Only licensed investigators can legally conduct surveillance for hire in California, and they are bound by state confidentiality rules. Check the license number with the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services, and ask how they protect your identity and deliver evidence. Trusted Eye Investigations is licensed under CA License #189232 and based in San Diego.
How do you keep surveillance and my identity confidential?
Investigators work from unmarked vehicles, blend into the environment, and break off surveillance if there is a risk of being noticed. The subject is never contacted. Your information is shared only with the investigators assigned to your case, and findings go only to you or someone you authorize.
Is private surveillance legal in California?
Yes, when it is done lawfully. Licensed investigators may observe and record activity in public places where there is no reasonable expectation of privacy. They may not trespass, record confidential conversations, look into private areas such as inside a home, or place a GPS tracker on a vehicle without the registered owner’s consent. We follow these limits on every case.
When is professional surveillance the right choice?
Surveillance is appropriate when you need to document what someone is actually doing, not just what records say. Common examples are suspected infidelity, cohabitation affecting spousal support, custody concerns, workers’ compensation or insurance claims, and locating someone who avoids service. If records research or a background check can answer your question, we will tell you so you don’t pay for surveillance you don’t need.
How long does surveillance take?
Most cases are scheduled in blocks of hours on the days the subject is most likely to be active. Some questions are answered in a single day; others need several days spread over weeks. We recommend a schedule during intake, you approve the hours in advance, and we update you as the case progresses.
How will I receive the evidence?
You receive a written report with a time-stamped log of observed activity, along with the original photos and video. We keep the original files unedited so their authenticity can be verified. On request, we deliver the report directly to your attorney.
Can surveillance evidence be used in court?
Evidence gathered lawfully and documented properly is commonly used in family law, civil, and criminal defense matters, and our investigators can testify to what they observed. The court decides whether specific evidence is admitted, so review your case with your attorney. We do not give legal advice.
Do you work with attorneys?
Yes. Attorneys can retain us directly, and we report to them under their direction. Surveillance is often part of broader litigation support or family law investigations.
