Sounds dodgy as hell - especially taking photos as that has a high chance of capturing other people in the employee's household. Doubt there would be any legal justification for invading privacy for that, along with all the other problems inherent in spying in employees.

There's the data protection compliance aspects and the privacy aspects that I can think of off the top of my head. No reputable company is going to do this, because of the headaches it potentially causes. My glorious former employer would love this, I bet, given they were already logging what webpages were being accessed during working hours.
But really, your employee works ten hours and you begrudge them give or ten minutes looking at the news for a break?
Get. To. Fuck.

Spending all day spying on his staff probably isn’t the most efficient use of his time

He clearly doesn't even accept that different people work at different speeds or with different productivity outputs.

I don't go on urban from my work computer these days, I'm way too busy mostly.

Carefully placed post-it note would solve the camera problem.
nah, go into device manager, disable the thing. so when the boss gets a heart attack you can prove to them on the phone that the camera lense is open, honest.

In the past, I've had the luxury of being able to walk away from cunty employers. To some extent, being self-employed, I no longer have that ability.
I cannot imagine what it must be like to be stuck in a place which does something like this, without the option of a "fuck you" departure. I'd probably end up arsing around with it, and/or finding ways to spoof the system, and would probably end up being invited to leave.
First draft spoofing - record a video loop with me staring around the screen, locate it in front of the "monitored" machine's camera, and let it get on with it.

An ex employer put 'security' cameras in an area where four of us were working. He didn't even try to disguise the fact they were there to spy on us, he came down one morning and told us that security was just an added bonus, that he'd be using them to make sure we were working and didn't spend 5 minutes too long on a break.
We decided we weren't having it, so one by one, the cameras kept getting accidentally damaged by low-flying hammers and such. It took about six months before he removed them, and a further month before three of us walked out and got a job at a rival company.

My cousin has worked from home in IT under these conditions for several years. If he wants a break/do child care/look at non work stuff he has to clock out. Whilst at work he is monitored with screenshots. He's happy with arrangement, prefers it to working in an office,

I worked five years in a place where there were not only cameras and mics in the room but a manager who would randomly watch and listen and phone up to tell you you were wrong about what you just said or did. Tbf they weren't arsed about a bit of Internet or whatever if it was quiet but they were still cunts and it was horrible.

Current workplace put cameras all over the place when thet started. We could understand them outside but inside was a whole other ball game. Then they started using footage as a way to check staff.
We used walk past the camera and give them the finger.
It all came to a head when there was a serious incident and the footage was requested and lawyers got involved.
Most of the cameras are now gone/not working..
Boss is still a prick.
