No they don't.
There's two-party and one-party states. In one-party states, like Arizona, only one party needs to know the conversation is being recorded.
In two-party states, you need all parties to be aware (not necessarily or usually consent, just aware). However, there's a grey area when it comes to cameras in your face. If a camera isn't hidden, that can be interpreted as consent in some places, in others it's not.
There's certain privacy laws with expectation of privacy, so you can't hide a camera in the washroom or take pictures of people going up the escalators, but that's not the same situation here at all.
And just think of all the Calgary videos on transit, or in public, or pretty much anywhere were the person being recorded doesn't want to be.
