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%.
