Security cameras at work are debatably legal under many states eavesdropping laws as I interpret the text. Of course INAL, and many places have better reason to have cameras, e.g. to curb shoplifting, but a corporate office really isn't one of those places. What am I going to do, steal some paperclips?
I always wonder - who will be looking at the footage? Your manager is obviously too busy, so there must be some department of workers checking on other workers?
Then, ownership. How can you be sure this video footage is kept safe and private? Who owns it and for how long can they keep it? Imagine a teenage child entering the wfh room while you're on a break, I can image wanting to have that video removed immediately.
Also - a home office which is surveilled this way must be decorated completely neutral; you might have an incorrect world map on the wall or a product made by a competitor in view, or perhaps a beach picture of your family to which people can be very sensitive.
Even in those states it's only illegal if you're not aware or don't consent. Very easy to add a "you consent to our surveillance" clause to your contract. Pretty good odds a lot of us have them in there already if we read carefully.
