It is exactly not a crime but invasion of privacy and i am sure your uncle has some malafide intentions, send him a letter to remove by it, and send the letter by speed post, if he is clever, he will remove or else will get trapped further

first of all don't you have doors in rooms ? doors can be used to avoid cctv camera surveillance.
next is the dining space really your uncle's portion ? is there any partition deed showing each member's portion ? if yes then also your uncle can install camera if
that does not violate others privacy without others consent. if he does install a camera that violates others privacy without their consent then file case in police station and file writ in high court.
