Our approach emphasizes prevention, discretion, and operational efficiency.

GPS Tracking Services

GPS tracking technology can be a highly effective and cost-efficient investigative tool when used in appropriate situations. Traditional mobile surveillance of a vehicle often requires multiple investigators, extended hours of observation, and significant expense. In certain cases, GPS technology can provide valuable location and movement data that helps document travel patterns and corroborate other investigative findings.

Modern GPS tracking devices are typically compact, weather resistant units that can be securely attached to a vehicle. These devices may record location, direction of travel, speed, stops, and route history, allowing authorized users to review vehicle activity over a period of time.

Is GPS Tracking Legal in Illinois?

Illinois law places significant restrictions on the use of electronic tracking devices. Under current Illinois law, a person or entity generally may not use an electronic tracking device to determine the location or movement of a person unless a statutory exception applies.

One of the primary exceptions allows the use of a GPS tracking device when the registered owner, lessor, or lessee of the vehicle has consented to its use. Additional exceptions exist for law enforcement agencies and certain business or governmental purposes as provided by law.

A violation of the Illinois electronic tracking device statute may constitute a criminal offense. Because the law is fact specific and subject to change, every proposed GPS deployment should be carefully evaluated before installation.

Private Investigator GPS Services

A licensed private investigator does not receive a blanket exemption from Illinois GPS tracking laws. Due Process Investigations utilizes GPS technology only when its use is authorized by law and appropriate under the specific facts of the investigation.

In domestic, family, or infidelity investigations, GPS tracking may be available when the client is the registered owner, lessor, or lessee of the vehicle and has the legal authority to consent to the installation of the device. Documentation establishing ownership or lawful authority may be required before services are provided.

Our investigators can evaluate your circumstances, explain the legal considerations involved, and recommend investigative strategies that comply with Illinois law while helping you obtain the information you need.

Hidden Video & Nanny Cam Surveillance

Discreet Monitoring for Family, Home, and Business Protection

Hidden cameras and nanny cams are powerful tools for protecting your family, home, and business. They are commonly used to monitor children, elderly family members, caregivers, employees, and property when you cannot be physically present. When installed correctly and used lawfully, these systems provide peace of mind and reliable documentation of daily activity.

Is It Legal to Use a Hidden Camera in Illinois?

Illinois law generally permits the use of video‑only surveillance on your own property for legitimate security and safety purposes. Silent video recording is typically lawful in areas where individuals do not have a reasonable expectation of privacy.

However, cameras must not be placed in locations where privacy is expected—such as bathrooms, changing areas, or private bedrooms used by another person. Because every situation is unique, the specific facts of a case can influence the legal analysis.

Important: Audio Recording Requires Extra Caution

Illinois is an all‑party consent state for recording private conversations. Secretly recording audio without the consent of everyone involved may violate the Illinois Eavesdropping Act, potentially resulting in criminal or civil liability.

Many modern nanny cams and doorbell cameras include built‑in microphones. Property owners should carefully consider whether audio recording is necessary and legally appropriate. In many cases, a video‑only system is the safer and more compliant option.
