First of all, as to the videotaping your spouse without their knowledge, since they have a "reasonable expectation" of privacy in their own home, setting up hidden cameras around your joint marital residence may violate invasion of privacy laws. As for voice recordings, in MO, at least 1 party to a convesation must consent to its being recorded. Accordingly, if you and your spouse are talking to one another, the you can legally record the conversation. However, if your spouse is speaking with someone else and you are not a part of that convesation, then recording it it illegal.
