What are limitations for video surveilance and/or audio at the workplace?

They probably are not allowed to put cameras in bathrooms at all; more generally they probably are allowed to put cameras and recording devices up if they tell you they are doing so.  Some of this depends on your state's law.  Some of it may depend on what your contract or company policy manual says, but it may not.\n\nGive your local ACLU a call and see what they say.

TIN FOIL!!\n\nSorry, couldn't resist. Seriously though, there isn't any direct way. The best thing you could do is probably some setup with a web cam.

i actually think that your boss' idea is good\nat least it's good for him\ni know it annoys you and your colleagues, as your privacy is limited now\nbut by having those cameras, he would be able to monitor the staff efficiency\nprobably he heard that someone in his office spends lots of time in Y!A =) j//k

I'm not sure what kind of workplace you are reffering to, whether you have a group of programmers or animators at you workplace. My suggestion is Microsoft office 2003, Macromedia studio, Java suns, flash player, shockwave player, antivirus (update latest virus definition), direct x 9.0 installed, latest update from windows (service packs), nero burning rom, adobe reader, and microsoft encarta 2006. Well.. you can isntall yahoo messenger (chat with somebody when you are bored to hell). ;)

depends where you work. some companies have firewalls up to stop employees accessing their yahoo accounts, chat rooms and games etc.

That's tough to answer without hearing the noise and comparing to the disc activity light.  To be safe, yes, be prepared for the worst.  You might start backing up your My Documents to CD/DVD or an external hard drive.

It depends.  If you need a certain level of hearing to perform your job duties then the hearing test may be necessary.  Your boss should have had the discussion with you in private & by law should not discuss the issue with any of your co-workers without your consent.  If you are hearing impaired you may want to seek out a client advocate from your local Independent Living Center for the Disabled.  Call them up and tell them your issue & they will advise you.

Regardless of what you are trying to say, remember that it is perfectly legal for your employer to monitor any electronic e-mail to or from you while at work!  If you use company computer connections.  Your question is rather vague.  Mail as in email, should be only for business, or only as specifically allowed in writing by your management.  There are monitoring programs for servers that specifically hit office abuse of email.  Employees are fined or otherwise disiplined, not good.  Electronic devices are controlled by individual corporate policies and proceedures.  Most formally do not allow private devices, but seem to overlook most of the time, except when the privledge is abused or highlighted (Like in the middle of a important staff meeting when your cell phone song rings out)!\n\nHave a good day.

I suspect that you would be trespassing if you did carry in a camera or tape recorder. There are also privacy issues.

NO NO NO! even if you have security (anti-virus) still there is threat... yes! some are undetectable... because their binary code is compressed which cannot be scanned by AV... so i think you got it.... having Av too has minimum threats... without Av... MAXIMUM RISK!

My answer to questions like this is always, "Get a  video camera with audio for yourself, *******, and hide it in the woods!  Then leave!"

There is software available to employers that allow them to watch and monitor where employees are surfing on the net.  If an employer has rules or regulations that prohibit employees from surfing, this software can and will track where employees are surfing.  If you are in violation of company rules, you could be fired.
