society and police is very sensitive on CCTV. It is encouraged.
He can use it as security device.
He cannot use it to intrude upon your privacy.
you can give him notice that he retains himself from recording inside your house and restricts to lawful use only.

YOU HAVE RIGHT OF PRIVACY.
issue notice ; not to capture your in- house activity.

agreed.
but you cannot just insist removing of CCTV altogether. He also has a right to secure his property.
