Mobile Surveillance: Setting Up Your Car

Video Transcript

"Hello, my name is Frank Torres and we're here on behalf of Expert Village. This segment is about setting up your vehicle for mobile surveillance. Your vehicle is your office. You'll be spending most of your time in it, so you want to make sure that it's set up to do a good job. This first thing you'll want to do is make sure it's full of gas. Before you go to any site you'll want to make sure there is plenty of gas in your vehicle, because you never know where your subject may be going. They could be going to their family's house across the way or to another city. Either way, you'll want to make sure you have plenty of gas so you can follow them. Next, you'll want to make sure you invest in a sun shield. This will allow the vehicle to appear empty when your shooting your video. But, last but not least, is that you'll want to make sure you have plenty of tints on your vehicle. Get it as dark as you can but be careful because states have regulations on how dark you can keep your tint, and you don't want to end up with a glove compartment full of fines. So, setting up your vehicle is a very important part. After all, you'll be spending a lot of time in it."
