surveillance photo

Spy camera image

A surveillance photo is an image captured for monitoring purposes, typically by security cameras, law enforcement, or intelligence operations.

The term implies the subject was photographed without their knowledge or consent: Police released a surveillance photo of the suspect.

Such photos often have the grainy, unflattering quality of hidden or distant cameras.
