Walmart has been installing facial recognition cameras at eye level in the entrances of their new store fronts for some time now. These cameras not only have the ability to cross reference you with social media networks to put a name with the face, but utilzes software that has the ability to ascertain a great many things about the environment. How much exactly 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.
SEE PAGE 2:
The technology is expensive but can work from many IP cameras. They’re just mounting them lower. They are used in more places than we can imagine.
Yet another reason I don’t shop at this shithole!
I honestly don’t care if someone sees my face. Your very ignorant to think that just because they have them at eye level they are trying to track you down or gain info on you.. Trust me if anyone wanted information on you, it’s not hard to do at all.
Riiight its for “shoplifters” (insert doctor evil doing air quotes meme)
I trust walmart more than I trust government. Walmart for president 2016!
How can it be at eye level ? Not everyone is the same height !
At 5 feet that camera will see everything. It can rotate and zoom ya know
But they can’t afford to pay their workers a decent wage
Those have been there forever lol
These have been installed on most new Walmart remodels in place of their rooftop security cameras.
