surveillance van
Undercover observation truck
A surveillance van is a vehicle equipped for covert monitoring, typically containing cameras, recording equipment, and communications gear.
Law enforcement and intelligence agencies use them for stakeouts and investigations.
The stereotypical surveillance van is plain and unmarked—often white or black—parked inconspicuously near a target: The FBI had a surveillance van outside his apartment for weeks.
