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.

A lot of folks are just waking up to what the rest of us have known for 20 years. Welcome to reality.
Omer gush….. yeah whoodeee do. Then dont go there. Walmart is putting scanners or cameras into their buildings. Oh no big bad scary everyone is tracking you, 666, demons, government. Damn ppl if the government really wanted to be that invasive and not give a$#%&!@*about you they could just install a camera pointed at every door in the US, on every corner, on every street lamp, and wgo knows where.
Or maybe just maybe this is tied into dhs, fbi, and cnn for other reasons. Think about it after take off the tin foil hats. How many ppl frequent walmart every day just in your state alone. Now how many wanted criminals go in and out? Think if you will in the real world we hook a facial recognition system up to places lime this thats linked to a warrants database and when it goes off a cop or someone shows up. Bam. Or$#%&!@*it could help find ppl. Nooo the nsa wanst to know what data bytes are in your shitter and what kind of acne cream youre buying and why you do so at 3 am while wearing your wifes clothing.
I bet it’s a scanner to scan your phones and gain info?
Nope. All we can do is watch them walk out an give the best description with times for AP (asset protection) to track them.
Trust me, Wal-Mart tracks it’s employees too.
If only you guys knew how many people steal from Wal-Mart on a daily basis. Or even the things they do once inside the store. I work for them, have heard stories and even seen things myself that makes me shake my head in shame. Yes, they have them. Are they alone? No. Banks and other stores have them too, for the same reasons.
Doesn’t matter to me. You can’t recognize a face that you will NEVER SEE!
It’s for voting on the people of Walmart
People are arguing that these aren’t facial recognition cameras and your point for it is that software does the facial recognition, not the camera itself…so what is your point exactly? Do you not know that all security cameras are either hooked up to a VCR (video cassette recorder) for those of you too young to know…or to a computer which can utilize certain programs like, oh I don’t know…FACIAL RECOGNITION SOFTWARE! come on people, stop acting like this stuff is only in movies! They want to monitor the people and say that it’s for our saftey. B.S.
