landlords can install CCTV in the common areas, staircase, main entrance , lift area etc to protect property and tenants, but they must not violate privacy in private areas like inside apartments.  Having visible surveillance cameras (not spy or hidden cameras) in the common areas, like the driveway, front door, backyard, garage, apartment hallways, lobbies, vestibules, stairwells and any other areas used for ingress and egress where access is relatively uncontrolled, is not an act of flouting law.
