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:
What is eye level? I mean I’m in 6’6 and I doubt I’ll be of average so how could they see me
I guess I’ll be wearing a mask if and when I shop there.
Big brother can track your every move.
Its not tied to social media. All walmart video is sent live to Atlanta and shared with homeland security…for over ten years now
That has allowed numerous ON THE RUNS to be located as they travel
This is an enhancement to that as it is tied to nics ncic and can alert walmart local security to felons shoplifters and treapassers.
Anyone convicted of shoplifting at walmart is barred from all walmarts nationwide for life.
