A: Likely not, but more information is needed. Speak with a local attorney. [I litigate cases. Anything posted here must not be construed as legal advice, nor as grounds for forming an attorney-client relationship. You should seek an attorney for formal legal advice and representation.]
A:
Yes that is lawful as long as the cameras are not recording audio, and as long as the video does not capture inherently private spaces like dressing rooms or toilets.
Good luck to you.
Maya L. Serkova agrees with this answer
A: If the camera is in a place where you would not expect full privacy, then I do not see an issue with it. If the camera is in the bathroom, for example, then, it will not be lawful.
