Once the camera is there, the temptation for future governments to use this power for more things than originally required will become irresistible.

It absolutely is a slippery slope argument.
"New government mandate paves way for additional government mandate" is about as straightforward a slippery slope argument as you can get.
Slippery slope arguments don't require the eventual fear (e.g. cameras recording you) to be present in the current form, otherwise it wouldn't be a slope.
