Who provides surveillance over IDS sectors or zones?

• A. Base Watch
• B. Immediate visual assessment (IVA)
• C. IDS Sector Monitors
• D. Area Surveillance Team

Answer: (B)

Immediate Visual Assessment is the on-scene visual check that provides surveillance over IDS sectors or zones. When activity is flagged in a sector, IVA involves a responder visually assessing the area in real time, identifying any threats, and relaying findings to the command post. This direct, first-hand observation turns sensor cues into actionable awareness and helps determine the immediate next step, such as escalation or follow-up actions. Base Watch oversees the overall security picture, IDS Sector Monitors focus on monitoring sector data, and the Area Surveillance Team covers larger-area coverage, but the act of surveilling a specific sector through immediate sight is performed through IVA.
