There is no inclusion of privacy within the fourth amendment.
I live in a one-party consent state, so things are a bit different here too.

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized
the 4th amendment is a direct protection of privacy against potential evidence collected while in your home.
secret recording laws by private citizens are also not admissible evidence in a court of law, and further result in the recorder being potentially prosecuted. this is both a protection of privacy, increasingly important in a digitial age, and a way to dissuade vigilantism.
simplified: it is illegal to record someone without their consent and then publish those recordings. it may or may not be illegal to do the same and not publish depending on the case, but in any case the recordings are not admissible evidence in an American court of law.
