IPIN uses only non-contact, non-destructive equipment to perform the following tasks: video recording; audio recording; electro magnetic field measurements; and infra-red thermo graphic measurements.

Generally speaking, this equipment takes the form of hand-held cameras and other equipment though most items can also be set up in a stationary position using tripods or similar equipment.

On occasion, given secure circumstances, audio and video equipment can be left unattended, however, as a rule, equipment will at least be monitored by IPIN personnel. Other scientific measurement devices such as thermo graphic and EMF devices are a hands-on affair and do require an operator.

At no time will the client be allowed to operate, touch, handle, move, alter, interfere with or otherwise interact with IPIN equipment without expressed permission by IPIN personnel and then only on a per-instance basis.

IPIN reserves the right to make judgment on the safety of an investigation in part or as a whole. If a property is determined to be unsafe by IPIN personnel, the investigation in whole or in part will not happen. At no time will it be considered acceptable for IPIN personnel to be locked into or otherwise be refused egress from any room, home, building, facility, structure or property.

IPIN will bear all reasonable costs of damages caused by it’s personnel. Additionally, all IPIN personnel will bear any costs related to personal injury not caused though negligence or by direct fault or action of the property owner, those renting/leasing the property, their clients, employees or representatives.

Additionally, the client will be responsible for all damages to IPIN equipment caused by/though negligence or by direct fault or action of the property owner, those renting/leasing the property, their clients, employees or representatives.

IPIN does not require any amount of cash or other compensation in exchange for its services. However, do we ask that accommodations be made available to/for IPIN personnel such as rest rooms, drinking water, electricity (if available), space to set up equipment, and possibly smoking facilities or access to the outdoors.

We do also ask that clients that are companies, institutions and other formal entities involving investigations that require either a long drive, overnight or multi-day investigations make some form of lodging arrangements available for IPIN personnel.

These arrangements can be as simple as making a room available for the use of sleeping bags or as elaborate as hotel accommodations. If motel/hotel accommodations are provided for IPIN personnel, generally speaking, two (2) rooms will be needed - one for males and one for females.

It should be noted, however, that the extent and expense of any accommodations provided will not have any affect on the outcome of the investigation.

IPIN reserves all rights, copyrights and privileges on all evidence collected at any sight unless other arrangements have been made in advance. Generally speaking, IPIN will provide a copy of any video and/or audio evidence to the client, should such evidence be collected.

IPIN will always provide a detailed written report of the investigation and, if possible, an in-person discussion with the client regarding the investigation and it’s findings.

Anyone seeking to use evidence acquired by and/or provided by IPIN for publicity, advertisement, and/or any other activity available to the public either in part or in whole, either free and/or for a fee, must first make arrangements with IPIN to do so. Failure to comply with this stipulation will result in legal action.

When IPIN undertakes a field investigation, a number of events will take place.
1. Meeting on time at the specified location
2. Brief discussion regarding any conditions that may affect the investigation.
3. Safety survey by IPIN personnel.
4. General meeting with the clients regarding occurrences at the location.
5. Possible interviews with witnesses.
6. Walk through of property with client.
7. Equipment placement and testing procedure survey.
8. Equipment set up and any pre-testing needed.
9. The actual investigation.
10. Equipment breakdown.
11. Walk though with client inspecting all property for any damages.
12. Signing of walk through results and explanation of procedures leading to the IPIN final report.

While it is not necessary, we do prefer that the client and/or their representative be on hand during an investigation. If this is not possible, we do require that they be on hand prior to IPIN leaving any property!
