if you are working and she is working from home then yes because she is at work
if she is using it just to watch you while she isn't working then i think that's strange and should be addressed

Nearly all the CCTV cameras in the UK are operating illegally, according to a CCTV expert.
Companies that have CCTV systems on their premises must let the Information Commissioners Office (ICO) know they are gathering details about the people they are recording and what the information is for.
Companies must also put up signs warning people they are being recorded and securely store the recorded data in accordance with the ICO`s code of practice.
More than 95 per cent of the four million CCTV cameras in the UK are privately owned and fail to abide to these rules.
These claims have been backed up by the independent advisory body Camerawatch which, in June also found that nine in 10 of the UK`s CCTV systems were not compliant with the DPA.
Cameras were also - wrongly - used for purposes other than those for which they were registered, for example monitoring behaviour. According to Hanna Basha, a partner at law firm Carter Ruck, this could also be an infringement of the Human Right`s Act.

Companies legally get CCTV cameras installed to keep an eye on their business and staff, my partner sells them for a living and they get them installed through broadband.

Her business, she can utilize the tools as she sees fit. Although it seems like it would be a pain in the ***. I had a old store manager when I worked Loss Prevention and he would decide to use the cameras to spy on the workers to make sure they were working. It pissed me off so bad, because he would always come in when it was busy, when shoplifting is the worst.

Yes, it is legal, as long as there are no cameras in areas that are considered private, such as rest rooms, locker rooms, or showers.

Yes, if she is working from home only the address is different, not the rules.
Why are you so worried, up to something you shouldn't be? LOL

Sure. She's the boss. She can work from home and watch if she wants. No big deal.
