In your home in California yes—unless video obtained could be considered sexual in nature and obtained for such purposes without consent. It is not a crime—however, its admissibility in a court of law is dependent on many variables.
So yes, go right ahead. Just don’t video tape the landlord in the bathroom if he/she has to go during the inspection. Unless you get the okay.
