Florida allows video-only recording in most workplaces, but audio recording is governed by a strict two-party consent statute — and that changes how you spec cameras. This guide covers where you can legally place cameras, how to handle employee and customer consent, and what to document so your surveillance policy holds up if it is ever reviewed.
Video in the workplace
Cameras are generally permitted in non-private business areas, but restrooms, changing rooms and spaces where employees have a reasonable privacy expectation are off limits.
A top pick in this category is the ECI-D14F2 4MP Fixed Dome IP Camera with Audio, PoE, IR Night Vision, IP67, available from $114.99. This model delivers the performance and reliability that Florida installers depend on for consistent, high-quality video surveillance.
Audio is the risky part
Florida is a two-party consent state, so recording private conversations without consent can create real liability. Most businesses should leave audio disabled.

Notices, policies and retention
Post visible notice, document the purpose of monitoring in an employee policy, and set a retention period instead of keeping footage indefinitely.
