UTAH is considered a One-Party Consent State, in that at least one person involved in the recorded communication must give permission.
As per the Justia website1,
In Utah it is lawful to record oral or telephone conversations with the consent of at least one party barring any criminal or tortious intent. Illegal recording in this context is a felony except as it relates to the radio portion of cell phone communications, in which case it is a misdemeanor. The statute also provides for civil liability. UT Code § 77-23a-4 (definition & penalty; civil damages), § 77-23b-8 (civil damages)
VIDEO SURVEILLANCE
As per the Upcounsel website2,
Video surveillance laws differ greatly from state to state. There’s a total lack of federal laws prohibiting video surveillance in public, in the workplace, and elsewhere, sometimes known as CCTV, or closed-circuit television. Most states allow this surveillance to occur, but there are some small exceptions and some circumstances that require monitoring on a case-by-case basis.
AUDIO SURVEILLANCE
Federal and state laws differ as to the legality of recording phone calls and conversations. Determining which jurisdiction’s law controls in cases involving recording devices or parties in multiple states can be complex, so it is likely best to adhere to the strictest applicable law when in doubt, and/or get the clear consent of all parties before recording.
