Roomate built the damn thing himself! So it's worthless to insurers...:/





That's an invasion of your privacy, as its YOUR apartment also since you signed the lease, so he must have your written consent for it. You BOTH must agree to the cameras in common areas since the house belongs to BOTH of you. He thinks he has more leverage, and thinks its HIS apartment because he signed a rent-a-room lease with you first, but if you are literally on the lease for a set amount of months, its just as much your apartment as it is his.
Tell him all of the above, and then tell him that if he does install them, you will immediately hire a lawyer for invasion of privacy and seek out a restraining order against him so that it would legally enable you to break your lease. You literally could do this if he put in cameras and then you took dated photo and video evidence of it. Talk to your landlord about it also, right away, and ask what he/she thinks. If he/she thinks its fine, don't say anything. If he/she doesn't think its fine, bring that up as another point to your roommate. The only place he could legally place cameras without your written consent is in his bedroom because you do not share that space.
Tell him if he is so concerned about his ~*special 40k entertainment setup*~ while hes gone, he can move it to his bedroom and lock the door from the outside using one of these: along with all the cameras he wants in his bedroom because that is a space you do not share with him.
This is why I can never have a roommate ever again. People are crazy and selfish, and think it gets to always be their way even though they are SHARING a space with another human being... who would ALSO get the same right. Why do people think they're so ~*special*~?! No, idiot roommate, you are NOT above the law and CANNOT do anything you want in a household you are SHARING unless its solely done in your bedroom and does not disrupt your roommate's right to quiet enjoyment and/or safety. I can't believe some of the stories I've heard and the instances that have personally happened to myself.
I would personally start looking to move. Because you already know his crazy ass will probably install cameras anyway and just get more and more paranoid. This won't end well, because either way one of you is going to be unhappy. I would look into living with a quiet student (who does NOT have people over) or with another sexworker. At least they will understand where you're coming from.
