    Audio and Video Recording on Premises in New York
    Is it legal to record audio and video in the state of New York if the cameras are all known about, meaning not hidden?

    I record video and audio during business hours and all the employees know that i do this. Is this in fact legal to do in New York? I heard some stuff on one of the tapes and was wondering if i would be able to use it.

    how much more specific do you need? Camera type, video quality, audio quality? I thought i was specific enough. I would love your help but when you say "be more specific" i dont really know what you mean without you being a little more "specific".

    Context. You want to stick the cameras in restrooms? Forget it.

    they are in the foyer, office area, warehouse area, stairwells, and outside the building(no sound outside). I think 16 cameras total.

    And the game of 20 questions continues?

    Video surveillance cameras in public places shouldn't be a problem. Audio is tricky, as it seems likely you are going to be recording people who have not consented to it, so I personally wouldn't record audio.

    what if the recordings were of employees who sign something that states they are being recorded, for say security purposes? Be it ours or their security.
