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:
Hmm, so if they scan your face and use it to track you down on social media, and your stuff is set to private, could this not be considered an invasion of privacy?
Plate readers….very common ….
The Prophecies of Revelations are being fulfilled!
Or your cellphone lol just love and don’t worry about it
Why would they install a thumb in a little glass dome?
I shop at Target
I guess I’ll have to go to Walmart and buy a face mask Halloween style and wear it at the door.
I have these 360 cameras on my vending machines.
Brownwood Walmart has had these for a year not to mention the cameras on top of the building that has been there from day one. They don’t pay their employees much but spend money on this kind of thing, guess it gives loss prevention something to do.
FYI I-5 , 8 , 10 ,95 ,90 bracket the nation and as such include facial recognition as do the majority of airports, federal grounds, and so on . Backed up by ever last surveillance camera in play today. The real-time “1984” will go to full swing once these are all sinked with AL which is expanding into to many niches as soon it is perfected to fill said ….
