Video recording remote employees?

I am a process improvement consultant and lately I’ve been getting more and more requests for monitoring remote employees. Some employers want to set up a camera in the employee’s home. The camera would point towards towards the employee’s workstation to ensure the employee was working and not slacking off. It wouldn’t record sound, just video. And it would only record during work hours. Does anyone know if this is legal to do if the employee is informed ahead of time?
