Security cameras are for security. The tape may not be viewed unless an incident occurs. If something does occur, the security camera can be a powerful means of getting information about what happened and the participants and witnesses. There are often security cameras in designated test sites.

Cameras are often used in designated test areas and may move or positioned in several places. Filming is less obtrusive than a proctor walking around. I have viewed all sorts of cheating by students who pull out notes, write on themselves and other strategies. It is easy to focus on one or more individuals taking exams at the same time. As the person is leaving, I tell him or her that I suspect cheating. Not me! I show the student what was filmed and then send a copy to faculty for disposition.

Cameras are often a wonderful tool on campus. I am not be concerned about being fi!med. I would prefer not to be taped in the rest room, of course. But security is more important than privacy.
