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:
Not good!
I see it as a deterrent to shop lifting or something more serious. I don’t care if they film what I am doing. I have nothing to hide.
Those cameras could be used with facial recognition software to identify and track anyone even if you wear a hat and glasses, they also know how tall you are when this software is used. The only way to avoid being identified is to wear a loose face cover, hat and glasses.
So you are being watched inside too look up
This shouldn’t be legal
Big brother is watching!
Their store, their policy.
There’s cameras on streets. Highways. Airport’s. Mall’s.any place you look or go anymore is cameras. Don’t care for it. But some of these stores is getting stolen from daily. If it helps this from happening less. Why not
Be sure it’s clean to Bad if the rag is oily.
