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.

Walmart should be avoided at all cost for so many other reasons also
Absolutely., but if this is what it takes for people to stop going there, I’m all for it.
I have not been in walmart in years and don’t plan on ever going there,,,
Conspiracy theory nuts at it still…lol
What we really need at Walmart are cameras that will detect pajamas, falling-out-of-your-top scoop neck shirts for women, and saggy waistband bottoms for men. Every wearer should then be presented with a large garbage sack to wear while shopping. Just a thought.
There is no expectation of privacy in public.
Good now maybe molesters and people that’s not suppose to be certain places will stay away. Maybe more places need that
Yeah, couldn’t have anything to do with catching shoplifters. Lost me at they get their power from the ether. All cameras can be used for facial recognition. Software does that. It’s software can detect faces? No kidding, so does my phone. And my phone will even tell me who you are if it already has pictures of you. Now, everything they mention here about the cameras, sure, the technology exists. Of course the cameras are there to capture your face. What else would they really be for?
crazy
So what? Don’t like it, don’t go to Walmart. How can you crave privacy when you have a Facebook account?
