I've been servicing their cameras for a couple years now and have always found it mind boggling that they all still have analog shit. Even more surprising they keep paying us shit tonnes more money to replace and bandaid old crap when it would've already been cheaper to update the entire systems at each of the 30 stores to hi-res IP that would/could have analytics. |

That and Homedepot;s Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75818236 Yes they have facial rec This guy is full of shit. You have to pay 10's of thousands in their case millions a year, every year to use the analytic plug ins. Kind of defeats the purpose of replacing a minimum wage worker. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 71027993 I thought about Walmart hiring Lockheed Martian to spy on their employees across the us for mentioning Unionizing. Does anyone know for sure??? They are a media rich retail chain, not much goes on in any of their stores that isn't accounted for. |

People use self-checkouts to steal all the time. It would be a waste of money for them to spy on their employees lol. Besides, they already have regular ceiling cameras to do that. |

All the little bullets are a pos brand called ganz, in all of its 480 line resolution glory. |
