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:
I want this for my house.

What do you mean use responsibly? The camera is in a place where you have no expectation of privacy. If your a thug or someone who is a known shoplifter, you should be identified as such and kept out of the store. Good job Walmart.
They have new software in them to steal your sole. OMG! RUN!. The Walmart greeter is a demon. The self checkouts are checking you out. Subliminal messages are being played telling you to kill your friends. RUN!
Need it at Walmart. Find out who’s the latest criminal
Its because the illuminati knows that poor people shop at wm and are most likely to start an uprising
Nearly every store you go into has cameras. What’s everyone’s deal now all the sudden with them
This is just a basic security camera. The software that the manufacturer is promoting is designed to automatically adjust the cameras settings to get the best possible image. They’re placed at eye level to get a clear image of people’s faces as they enter the building. If they’re suspected of shoplifting, or getting in a brawl; they just look for the footage of them walking in. Most people committing a crime end up running out; so placing it inside, looking at exiting customers, may not produce a clear image of someone running by.
