What We Do

PROFESSIONAL COVERT
SURVEILLANCE

Tyde Link conducts covert mobile surveillance — tracking and documenting subject activity without detection, using professional-grade equipment and investigative methodology that holds up legally.

Every surveillance operation is conducted strictly within NC law. We do not engage in illegal surveillance, wiretapping, trespass, or any activity that would compromise the admissibility of your evidence. What we gather can be used in court, HR proceedings, insurance claims, or any legal context.

Common Questions

SURVEILLANCE FAQ

Questions about whether surveillance is right for your situation? James Dale will give you an honest, confidential assessment.

Talk to James →
Is surveillance legal in North Carolina?

Yes, when conducted legally by a licensed PI. Tyde Link investigators are licensed under NC GS Chapter 74C and conduct all surveillance within the boundaries of NC and federal law — in public areas where there is no reasonable expectation of privacy. Evidence gathered this way is fully admissible in legal proceedings.

Will the subject know they are being watched?

No. All Tyde Link surveillance is conducted covertly — the subject is unaware they are being monitored. Our investigators use professional mobile surveillance techniques and equipment designed to remain undetected throughout the operation.

Can surveillance evidence be used in court?

Yes. Because Tyde Link investigators are NC licensed and operate within legal boundaries, all evidence we gather — video, photographs, written reports — is admissible in court proceedings, HR matters, insurance claims, and civil litigation.

How long does a surveillance operation take?

It depends on the case and what needs to be documented. Some operations produce the required evidence within a single day of surveillance. Others may require multiple sessions over several days or weeks. James Dale will discuss the most realistic approach based on your specific situation.

What if the surveillance doesn't find anything?

That is also a result — and sometimes the most valuable one. A documented surveillance report showing no suspicious activity is legitimate evidence in its own right, and provides genuine peace of mind or a clean record in legal proceedings. We report exactly what we observe, nothing more and nothing less.
