Is there a requirement to send a notice out to residents when cameras are installed in a common area such as the pool? Notice signs alerting people are posted on the gate and inside the pool area.

I didn’t think so. It was questioned by a new homeowner. Also asked who will have access. To thatvthe answer is simply only authorized users which is the board, management company and the police and/or sheriff department.

Even if not required, I think a note in yours newsletter or on your website is a friendly gesture. It's also a good time to remind residents of the reasons why y there were installed: Safety? Rules violations?

I agree that while an official notice is not a requirement, it's not a bad idea to put something out there. "In case you haven't noticed, new cameras have been installed near the pool ...."
I don't know that I'd call them "security cameras" since you don't want to give people an expectation that the cameras will offer added security or protection. At best, unless you've got someone monitoring the video feeds 24 x 7, they'll only be useful after-the-fact to help identify who-when-what after an incident. "Surveillance cameras" sounds really Orwellian but it's probably the best term to use.

Correct. It can create liability for the HOA.

The proper (and neutral) terminology is:
