That's a pretty bad idea IMO. Putting people in a panopticon has a strong chilling effect, no matter what disclaimer you put on the recordings. Creative, deep work needs space to make blunders in private, scientists are no exception. They'll just use their personal laptops or document every experiment and mistake and script to death, getting done a lot less actual research.
Plus, it will be pretty much useless im practice since you'd have to be an expert in that niche yourself to know what's correct (you're not getting any extra docs or context) and probably most of it will be some kind of incorrect, possibly very subtly. The only people who could profit tremendously are the competition who aim to snipe that particular paper. Science is pretty dirty and ruthless often as not, I totally could see this happen.
