Covert surveillance is conducted by concealing it from the subject, or by ensuring they are unaware of its presence. Directed surveillance operations involve the covert monitoring of targets’ movements, conversations and other activities. Those who perform this work are highly skilled surveillance specialists, who may operate from vehicles, on foot or from fixed observation posts.
The use of covert surveillance has long been the last resort for investigating illegal activities, such as extremist groups, theft, fraud, espionage, or employment issues. However, as organisations look at quicker methods, covert surveillance has been growing in popularity as a way to glean intelligence and information, in what is often referred to as a covert surveillance investigation, in order to uncover the truth.

Get Started NowA team of highly-trained, qualified and experienced investigators. With specialist, high-tech equipment, we are able to assure you the best quality service.
Get Started NowTracing, evidence gathering and surveillance services, we’ve built a wealth of experience in helping local authorities investigate and prosecute offences.
Get Started NowIn general, there are 3 main surveillance services used:
Static Surveillance: Normally undertaken by one surveillance operative. They can be deployed outside a property and will film and record the movements and interactions of a person, or persons at an address or location. No follow will be initiated.
Mobile Surveillance: When asked to follow a person/persons. It is normally undertaken by a minimum of 2 operatives, moving from one area to another and across towns or the country. Evidence of the person’s movement, location, interactions will be recorded from start to finish of the agreed times.
Rural Surveillance: Is required when we are asked to monitor a scenario whilst in a rural area. We have surveillance peratives that are placed into areas where they will need to be camouflaged and use more specialised equipment such as long lens and thermal imagery.
We operate on an hourly rate basis and work in blocks of a minimum of four hours. The surveillance time will begin from the time our operatives leave our base of operations until they return. Any additional fees incurred on the job (such as parking, entry fees, etc) will be charged upon completion of the operation.
Dion International also provide daily rate packages for our surveillance services, with this option you will know exactly what you are paying from the beginning with no surprises. We encourage our clients to set a budget that they are comfortable with and we can produce a plan of action from this.
Please note we are not being paid for a result we are monitoring the subject and place the client has instructed us to observe. However, unlike other investigation companies Dion International conduct a full in depth subject analysis before putting boots on the ground, we will gather actionable intelligence that will pinpoint the best time for us to deploy our operatives, thus resulting in less time on the ground and keeping overall costs to a minimum.
Yes, A surveillance report is provided with photographs and a section of writing explaining what has occurred during the allocated time. Please be advised, if extra editing is required ie video, an additional fee is applied to the final invoice.
A surveillance operation cannot be cancelled or rescheduled 24hrs before, as we have operatives in place to undertake the work and their days must be organised in advance. We also would have turned other work down or booked in at a later date to conduct the operation and therefore payment of 50% of the daily rate per operative would still be required for any cancellations within 24hrs.
We had one of our business associates flying into Edinburgh Airport we contacted Dion International last minute as we were let down by another company. I can only say good things and this security company will definitely be first point of contact in the future. Thanks again.
The communication was prompt, clear and efficient. The results perfectly matched our expectations. This company is value for money unlike the previous companies we called who were wanting 5x the price. We would defiantly use Dion International again in the future.
Very professional security company. We have had the pleasure to work in conjunction with them on a few occasions now during counter surveillance tasks. When clients are looking for security solutions in Scotland we always recommend Dion International.
I received an osman warning (threat to life notice) suspected to be in relation to my recent break up from my husband. I contacted Dion International who put me at ease straight away. The gentlemen who turned up were very friendly, polite and professional. I would highly recommend.
Experienced and trusted Scottish security officers have local knowledge which is a must for any successful operation.
