COMMUNICATION SKILL: SURVEILLANCE SYSTEMS

This is the study and understanding of the operation, methods, and techniques in the use of surveillance systems. Includes motion detectors, simple and complex alarm systems, audio/visual recording and display equipment, recording methods, amplified sound systems, miniature listening devices (bugs, line-taps), and some optical enhancement systems (specifically as they relate to camera lenses).

Tailing, or following someone without their knowledge,is another form of surveillance. This also includes stakeout procedures. A failed surveillance roll indicates that the subject has spotted the 'tail' and is aware that they are being followed/observed.

Prerequisites: Electronics: Basic or Electrical Engineering and Computer Operation and Literacy (the latter two are needed only for complex, high-tech systems).
Base Skill: 30%.
Per Experience Level: +5%.
