Does anyone know, do Australian carriers (QF, VA, JQ in particular) routinely do video surveillance in the passenger cabin? I'm interested because I've seen a report that CX is using video to prevent theft from overhead lockers and "suspicious behaviour", using an AI algorithm.
I'm no lawyer, but it was my understanding that a business was required to make customers aware that their image maybe captured when entering the business premises if using cctv (the plane being business premises). So if the airline says nothing or has no signage indicating they are using cctv then they wouldn't be able to.

I'm no lawyer either, however it could be that a ticket condition of carriage is sufficient, no sign needed?

nope. Only audio is required to gain consent in some states.
remember planes flying over several states and countries are not bound by the law of those states and countries - often the law of the carrier and/or international conventions apply...

some EK planes have cameras - not sure if recording or used by crew to monitor
