When you enter your local Walmart, keep an eye out for the visible part of the latest technology the retail chain has been installing near their doors and throughout the store.
Paging: George Orwell. Mr. Orwell, you there?
High-tech facial recognition cameras are installed eye level near the entry-ways of their new store fronts, but it’s the software behind these anonymous plastic half-globes that is raising concerns (see the video on the following page). Understand, that it isn’t about having anything to hide, these cameras set new a precedent for both personal and business use. These cameras are able to cross-reference your image with online social media networks to match a name with the face, they can learn a great deal more and may be able to track lot of data points. How much the system can record and track is unknown, but in the video on the next page you can see that it not only tracks faces, but can categorize objects and motion:
Look around….cameras are everywhere…..
This needs to be filed under “So what?”
The facial recognition cameras are made by Bosch, they are in ALL THE STORES, we are under constant surveillance, and wal mart is a part of the government through secret relationships. Many of the stores are unexplainably closing. Get online and do some research about the wal mart tunnels. Just saying.
NOT GOOD FOLKS..
Please. Big brother has been holding your hand since the dawn of the invention of technology. You use a debit card? Cell phone, tablet, or computer? How about talk on the phone? Ever write a check? Better go join Alaskan Bush people.
If you have a window you might have bee. Spied on there to lol
Don’t lose any sleep over this. I worked at Walmart. They can’t keep more than 50% of their security cameras up at one time.
Not good
They installed a glass bubble with a guy behind it who likes to press his finger against the glass?
It has nothing to do with theft workers at Walmart told me they’re not aloud to stop anyone they see stealing anyway.
