Australia - SA Health has admitted using cameras hidden in smoke detectors to monitor its staff at SA Pathology premises in Adelaide.
Two cameras were installed in October in offices... as part of an investigation into processing delays for pathology reports...
A staff member, who did not want to be identified, said it did not take staff long to notice something suspicious. "The staff felt violated, there's also a microphone attachment to it so [we do not know] whether they were listening in or conversations were being recorded," they said.
However, a spokesperson for SA Health said the cameras were not used to record audio. (more)
