Laws can vary but generally video recording is allowed in US states except in private areas like bathrooms and changing rooms. Audio recording laws vary by state laws (single party consent). In most offices it is normal to have cameras watching doors and common areas but not individual workers.

but not individual workers.

And this is where it crossed the line here. Targeting individuals... Is not going to work out for you in court.
