In a fancy Manhattan co-op, without notification, a single video camera is installed pointing at a single apartment on a 24/7 feed to the resident managers office. No, there is not a whorehouse in that apt. No it is not rent controlled with a residency issue. What is in the apt? A resident who whistleblew the contracting (often beyond permitted work) done by the Superintendent during work hours.

I would go directly to the police. Call your precinct and ask for 2 officers to come and remove the illegal cameras, which are violating the privacy of the citizens.
Report all abuses by the Totalitarian Coop Board. To all forums: politicos, legislators, the AG, the District Attorney, the Press, everybody...

I can't find it on this website since the search function just gives you Board Talk hits more than anything else, which is useless, but somewhere here there's an article about security cameras or building security that says a board can put a camera in a hallway but CANNOT point it specficaly at one apartment, especially if it's angled in a way that shows the inside of the apartment when the door opens. Not even police can look inside that way without a warrant. I'd start by contacting your board's attorney, who might not be aware of this - any responsible attorney would want to keep the board from being sued.
