Ontario Private Investigator Practice Exam

What should an investigator consider if planting a wireless camera?

1. If the signal is encrypted and if it can be intercepted

2. If the camera has night vision

3. The cost of the camera

4. The weight and portability of the camera

The correct answer is: If the signal is encrypted and if it can be intercepted

When considering planting a wireless camera, an investigator should prioritize factors such as signal encryption and the potential for interception over features such as night vision, cost, and weight/portability. This is because an unencrypted signal can be easily intercepted by a hacker or outsider, compromising the integrity and security of the camera's footage. While other factors may also be important, they should not take precedence over ensuring the safety and confidentiality of the captured footage.
