Schedule

Most surveillance cases start at 6:00 AM. End times vary based on activity, with typical workdays ranging from 3 to 12 hours. Weekends and holidays are common workdays, as claimants are more active then. The role is independent, often requiring long hours alone in a vehicle, regardless of weather conditions, and demands constant alertness and readiness to use videography equipment.
