that socket probably not yours to use as its in a shared space
if your worried about security a hidden camera and say 2 dummy cameras the same will get any attack and satisfy the person he or she is now hidden

What is all that above the door for?
You can get peephole cameras.
Looks like it might be part of a TV distribution system.

yes my thoughts
I believe the other people who use this communal area to access their home(s) would expect privacy in that area. Some people may not take kindly to being secretly filmed there. If they discover a hidden camera, the camera may get reinstalled in a place where the sun never shines.

A peephole camera or similar to those in “secret camera” clocks or such would work. Often they are motion triggered.
Legally you’d be on tricky ground.
However, 20 years ago or so I fitted a camera for a mate. She has a second floor flat with a big landing outside. The landing is effectively only for her flat, as the stairs up to it only lead to her landing/ front door.
infitted a shop type PIR to beep when someone comes upstairs, and a camera that views outside.
She had thought that she heard people outside her door and preferred to not open the door to find out.
There was a peephole, but its coverage was sucjh that someone could hide.
my camera covered the whole 10-15 square metre space.
