Paying someone to deliver your mail doesn't give them the right to read it.
Your landlord doesn't have the right to videotape what goes on in your house, either.

Phone records are pulled en masse whenever the Feds want since 9/11. Mail packages that the Post Office finds suspicious are opened and resealed if nothing bothersome is found inside. Home videotaping is not analogous.
