In short. Yes. Some states only require the _owner_ of the device to consent to being recorded. PDF download below

I hope that's the law everywhere (especially private property) or else security cameras could not exist be legal.

It's not. In e.g. Germany, security cameras may not film public areas, or anything outside of your own property (and also not private streets leading up to your mailbox).

Additionally, they must always be clearly labeled, clearly visible, and before getting into the range of them you'll have to have a visible sticker warning about them, and having a clear GDPR privacy policy as well as contact data for whom to contact to retrieve or delete the footage in case it might contain you.

I am fairly sure that some places do not, but consent is implicitly obtained through signage.

And heavily regulated signage at that, in terms of design, content, and visibility—not just anything that says something somewhere.
