							| Hi!   To begin with, monitoring is a verb while surveillance is a noun.  So, if you want to rewrite the sentence using "surveilance", I guess it would be something like this: "Cameras and tags are not the only means of surveillance of our actions."   I hope that can help you!  |  11 Nov 2016

							| "Monitoring" is a gerund, which is a form of the verb, being used as a noun. You can be sure of this, because it is the object of the preposition "of".   Bruce  |  11 Nov 2016
