Cheaters and Infidelity Cases

If you have concerns or doubts about your husband, wife or partner, read our indicator checklist to see if any or all these seem familiar.

  • Are they defensive, aggressive or guarded when quizzed?
  • Are they possessive with their mobile phone or tablet?
  • Are they coming home late without a good excuse?
  • Do they seem to be doing more hours at work?
  • Has your sex life or intimacy diminished recently?
  • Have they bought new items of clothing lately?
  • Have they joined a gym or sport & go without inviting you?
  • Have you noticed any lack of personal affection or details?
  • Are there unexplained trips away or expenses appearing in your statements or accounts?

Contact us for an obligation-free, confidential chat to discuss your options. We often recommend preliminary tactics before engaging our full services. Our professional agents can blend in anywhere and may confirm your suspicions or give you peace of mind if your suspicions are wrong.

Our agents may be able to capture video evidence or advise you what you can do yourself to get confirmation on these odd behaviours.

Surveillance NQ can set your mind at ease with one call and reduce some of the stress involved. Brief us on the issue and we will advise you on the best option, whether that includes following or using software and/or technology first.

Most often, we find the target lies about where they are and who they spend time with. Affairs usually begin between people who meet in the workplace or on the internet. Lie detector and polygraph tests are also available via specialist's referral.

INQUIRIES ARE STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL

Partner and Spouse Surveillance

Affairs and adultery are a hard knock in life when the shock of being lied to become a reality. They have an emotional cost, particularly where children are involved, as well as financial costs after separating. We price these services with this in mind.

If you have concerns, we help by locating them in a place they should not be and can provide you with evidence of them together. Privacy laws can restrict some records we take; although often public displays of affection or missing weddings rings are enough to confirm suspicions. We often follow the other party (if identified) to a rendezvous and then home after, to identify who they are.

Video and covert footage is taken and we can produce a hi-def DVD and photos if you require hard evidence. Surveillance NQ does not keep any files. They are delivered at the end of the surveillance period with a detailed activity log.

During the surveillance, expenses are often incurred to allow us close proximity to the cheater, particularly when they are wining and dining. Our agents cannot record overheard conversation but can listen, where great intelligence is often gathered. Many of these cases run between 5 and 10 hours, and our agents provide you with regular updates.

When beginning surveillance of a spouse or partner, we always ask for any known destination/travel, accommodation details and a physical description. We also check what they were last seen wearing, any identifying features (tattoos, accents), request a recent photo, regular habits (smoker, drinker, gambler etc.) and car details where available.

Internet Dating & Validations

Are you suspicious that your partner is on a dating or hook up site? Do they have a profile, on RSVP, Redhotpie, POF, Zoosk or Tinder, and trying to meet others? Many will have no profile pic and lots are into sexting for the thrills. Those with pics don't care and are easily found. We can do sexting stings, and lay the bait they often take.

We can establish fake profiles to see if they engage in and try to identify them. Monitoring software can also be installed, which is undetectable. It can snapshot computer screens, log email and chat, record sites visited and send live alerts. We can arrange a meeting, and if they turn up while being watched, making their excuse and explanation, irrefutably false.

We can validate someone you meet from these sites to establish the truth, do they live alone, like they say? Invest in checking and safeguarding your future investment in time, emotions or finances.

Hen's and Buck's Nights Covered

We can follow the celebrations and parties over the night of celebrations, to check on the usual loyalties. Anything untoward is video recorded covertly and you get a typed log of events and observations. You may get a happy surprise and remove any doubts, when nothing detrimental occurs, peace of mind is a priceless thing.

Surveillance and Covert Observations

Our aim with surveillance is to monitor a subject person or place, covertly. We gather evidence or intelligence, or check levels of activity, which is documented by video and typed logs. Covert footage may be used as evidence with all video time and date stamped. We can respond quickly and often on short notice. Let us provide you with an option or strategy for any matter with timely updates, photos and intel. Many jobs may require a drive-by run beforehand to assess the value.

Our services are used in injury claims and compensation, cheating partners, family law matters and workplace incidents. We cater to private customers, legal firms, employers, business, insurers and other corporate clients. We are experienced in injury, CTP, travel and income protection claims, and many other investigations or observation cases. Overt observation is rare, but can be used if you need a strong message sent or as a deterrent.

Injured workers costs the workforce time and money. When you have a dubious or suspicious claim, we can act as employer direct, before WorkCover or your own insurers get interested.

Rural and remote observation work is not for everyone. Bush craft and stealth activity are our specialties. We are equipped with long-range gear to get the shots you need.

Static observation is used in many rural environs, such as diesel theft from a quarry or mine. We can place covert and infrared motion detect cams to get pictures or video footage of suspects in the act or coming to and from.

Good observation is an art and what we do best. Agents must be aware of their surroundings, blend in and not alert the target or raise suspicion of others.

Risk assessment is done on all cases. Unlike TV shows, traffic lights changing ahead can make or break our day. We minimise risks of losing a target. If someone is switched on, it is better to drop them than blow a case. We can re-assess, and continue from a different angle.

Retail businesses suffer losses from employees unlawfully dipping into your till or stealing goods. Our discreet covert cameras can help detect any illegal activity among your staff, helping to deter theft.

Workplace productivity concerns with employees taking advantage of sick days? We can also monitor productivity and attendance, when working off site.

Found a cheaper agent? Experience does count. Be warned, new agents undercut on price, to get a start. Do they have the skills, field time or reputation?
