    If you’re asking can you personally bring in a camera and film them then no. You can be sued for invasion of privacy. If you are talking about a camera already installed in your office that just needs to me rotated a little so it is trained on them then yes

    Most work places have camera’s these days. No, you cannot bring your own camera and film anyone. It is illegal.

    It is perfectly legal to have surveillance cameras in your business to monitor theft.Individual employees have no business spying on co workers, if you suspect theft, report it to your boss, or the police, if you have evidence.

    Yes you can as long as there is no audio… happened to a friend of mine with a hidden camera. The audio problem is due to wiretapping laws varying by state. Some states allow you to record conversations as long as you are in the conversation but you can’t if you are ease dropping. Other states say you can ease drop. Video is different when it is a public place or place of employment.
