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.

Big brother.
They’re for shoplifting. They spend $50,000 installing this in one store, and they’re guaranteed to save at least that much preventing shoplifters. They’ll probably fine tune it to the point where they will be able to save the face of someone who they didn’t catch, but it will pick them up the next time they enter. Any given Walmart Supercenter store loses around $2 million annually in theft. I can’t remember if it’s two or ten million. Anyway, they’re trying to keep the trash out and send them to Target or Kohls or wherever.
I can’t stand shopping at Wal-Mart. The store is always trashed inside and their employees usually aren’t helpful.
F**k that, if I see one of these I’m smashing it.

I do not trade with WalMart.
Well, if I see this on the door, it’s so long Wally World. Our government is spying on us enough as it is. Facial recognition cameras are used for high security or spying. Enough is enough.
Start putting ur cigarettes out on it
It could possibly be the facial system for one reason and thats to help police out if there is ever a code Adam called in the store this way they can see who has come in with the child and who has left the store with child so it captures the face of the suspect if that makes sence to you people that may not have children or even if you do I know i wouldn’t want what happened to Adam Walsh to plague my every thought for the rest of my life
Ohhh idk the millions of radicals that live in the US? If you’re all worried about the government knowing your face do t get a driver’s license dont use a cell phone, and definitely get off facebook. This is a security technology, the goverment isnt spying on how much fucking toothpaste you buy at the stores.
