Naive question: are entities allowed to film you on private property without any kind of warning or sign that they are doing so?

  Mostly no, in Europe.

  In the U.S. it depends on state laws, and in the absence of any state laws wether you had a reasonable expectation of a right to privacy. If there's a hidden camera on the factory floor, that's probably fair game. If there's a hidden camera in a bathroom stall, that's probably illegal.

  As far as I know it heavily depends on where you are. Obviously country by country, but also within the US it can be different per state or per city. Then there's the difference between a live camera and a recorded camera.

  I can't give a complete answer, but in the US there is a notion of "expectation of privacy"—you're not allowed to film (or watch in person!) where someone has an expectation of privacy. This definitely includes changing rooms and bathrooms. Does it include the bedroom of a rented house? Probably. The living room? I don't know, but you could probably argue that. A cube farm in an office building? No expectation of privacy. That creepy-ass camera (can't find a link) under employee desks, pointed at their chair and coincidentally at their crotch, to track whether they're at their desk? Almost certainly violates expectation of privacy, because crotch-shot. Anyway, that's one of the search terms you'll want to use if you research this.
