I'd say no... it's private property, you're within your rights to protect it.
But if you're concerned about it, this is good advice:

No need to say WHERE the camera is or how many there are, but it covers you from
somone saying they weren't warned (it doesn't even have to be a big glaring neon
sign or anything; as long as it's there, nobody has room to complain if they
weren't paying attention).
