Video Surveillance Stuttgart | Camera Installation

Video surveillance places high technical demands on the operator’s legal knowledge and technical equipment. Secret surveillance in particular constitutes an intrusion into the personality rights of the person being monitored and is therefore only permissible if an interests balance makes it necessary and the consideration of other measures does not allow a milder method. Laypersons should therefore at least obtain reassurance from professional assistance: +49 711 7153 0028.

Solutions for overt video surveillance in Stuttgart

Overt video surveillance is generally a deterrent, that is, a preventive measure. Because the cameras are visibly installed, it is not to be expected that offences will be recorded. Rather, anyone planning a crime will be clearly aware that they are under observation at that location and that the offence would therefore likely not be carried out there without being discovered. Overt video surveillance is used outdoors to protect against burglary and vandalism, in warehouses against stock theft, in underground car parks to protect against vehicle theft and damage, in flats against burglars and stalkers, and in retail premises for the prevention and investigation of shoplifting.

Solutions for covert video surveillance

For covert video surveillance there are numerous options available to the detectives of Kurtz Investigations Stuttgart. Most of these involve greater personnel deployment than measures of overt video surveillance, because fixed installations in many contexts constitute infringements of personality rights. Consequently, our Stuttgart detectives often use miniature cameras that can be concealed in containers such as wristwatches, spectacles, pens, briefcases or even buttons. These miniature cameras are carried by the detectives so that, for example, events can be recorded during cover appointments.

 

If covert video surveillance is installed without a container needing to be transported by an investigator, options include cameras hidden in motion detectors, wall clocks, alarm clocks, etc. The use of covert video surveillance is subject to strict limits imposed by legislation and the constitution. Surveillance at night is not a problem with the use of state-of-the-art night-vision devices with recording capability and infrared cameras.
