I always wonder - who will be looking at the footage? Your manager is obviously too busy, so there must be some department of workers checking on other workers?

I always wonder - who will be looking at the footage? Your manager is obviously too busy, so there must be some department of workers checking on other workers? Then, ownership. How can you be sure this video footage is kept safe and private? Who owns it and for how long can they keep it? Imagine a teenage child entering the wfh room while you're on a break, I can image wanting to have that video removed immediately. Also - a home office which is surveilled this way must be decorated completely neutral; you might have an incorrect world map on the wall or a product made by a competitor in view, or perhaps a beach picture of your family to which people can be very sensitive. I have so many objections against this.
