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:
Oh my Regina I’m sure you did a terrific job at it to!
I do not have to worry about this because i do not trade with Wal Mart any more. They are mostly owned by China so I trade with American stores.
i saw one being put at our walmart at tillmans corner wierd!!!!!
Before long you’ll walk into a Wal-Mart with a warrant already for your arrest, and as your walking out you’ll get a free ride to the local doughnut shop on your way to the police station
Ok Walmart I’m done. You people have become psychopaths.
What is a mall when you remove all that makes it one….. a prison. Wake up ppl
So you sat and watched security cameras for 12 years? You have no idea what that data is used for. It is not your pay grade.
Wear dark shades
I have security cameras all over my property. No big deal.
I agree that it is not for video its motion. You still get a better video on the beams or high on the wall.
