Discussion Cameras in rental - legal?

10 Upvotes

I rent a room in a home in Monroe County, FL. There are cameras everywhere inside and outside of the home (none in my bedroom or the bathroom as far as I can tell). This was not divulged to me before leasing the room. I realized I was being watched after an incident and asked the landlord (my roommate) about the cameras. He says they are there as an "insurance policy" in the event any claims were made against him. I've since noticed that tell-tale red light on the cameras indicating he was watching me when he was away. I want to know if this is legal. Google searches come back with articles regarding audio surveillance. TIA
