that's why I bedazzle my face before entering a walmart.

Those cameras do not record. There is no database of those images. Those cameras are merely to create the impression that you are bring closely monitored at the self checkout. Psychology. I know. I install and maintain them

eyeVoated ago

All of them?

crazy_eyes ago

All the self checkout cameras that I have worked on. Yes

eyeVoated ago

I know for a fact that they almost all record. I've installed them and seen several professional installations

crazy_eyes ago

Not self checkout cameras at walmart. They are not capable of connecting to a network nor do they have any memory

eyeVoated ago

Sure

crazy_eyes ago

For sure.

Its psychological

By now, when is now, this month or has it been done before this month started?

Also the main take away of this is facial recognition so when the tech is out on other platforms THEN thats where your data comes into play. Thats what it is.

I'm anti crossposting like this.

You posted the exact same thing to two different subs at the same time. Now both are on (my) front page.

Just wait a day, then cross post.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

Why? Are you against more people seeing what Wal-Mart is doing and if so, why?

Chiefpacman ago

You know why it's annoying.

Post what you have to say and move on. This site is too small to Post the same thing multiple times at the same time. Comes off as spammy.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

So, you don't like it because it feels like spam to you.

Kthx

I never use self-checkout. I use human beings when I buy stuff. If a store doesn't give me the human option, I go elsewhere.

I was an avid Wal-Mart shopper until about a year ago when i started working with my Chief Steward.He is anti Wal-Mart,and now has me "woke".Very few alternatives,but Wal-Mart is by far the worst when it comes to using the taxpayer to help subsidize there employees.

guys... its not like im agreeing with the practice and its always a good thing to be informed.. but.. umm... look up when you are in a walmart.. there is eyes hanging from the ceiling every 2 feet.,.......

This associates your face with your payment card. Now they have your name to go with your face. Surveillance cameras looking over the store can't identify you. I like to pay in cash at any of these, and many stores use them. Cash is anonymous.

If you have a drivers license then they have your name and face...

jsac ago

You think those cams cant correlate with time and register #? Lol

greycloud ago

don't shop at walmart

RoBatten ago

Most stores use this.

totes_magotes ago

The time stamp of the recording combined with the card you're using. As data is collected, it will be filed into a database and if the face target-points do not match your previous history images, it could be flagged as "not you."

commonsenseisded ago

Facial recognition for whom exactly?

RoBatten ago

That's the question. I'll bet these databases are shared, and are certainly subpoenaed.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

LPT: pay cash

Sullysq ago

And don't use self checkout. Save a job, put a person to work instead of their mechanical replacement.

Where are they located?
