        Yeah it is in my state as well. What a lot of corpos do is track theft though until they have enough incidents to exceed that threshold. This is tracked via loyalty cards, card numbers, facial recognition, and license plate readers.

        Umm let’s see, PVM’s (Public view monitors) are those pole mounted cameras that say “RECORDING IN PROGRESS” or something along those lines, they’re programmable. Are $1,000 cameras that just show what they see. They have no recording capability but they can feed the video into a DVR. The same can be said for the overhead cameras in NCR fastlane units.

        The in screen cameras piping the video feed to a DVR is probably live by now. My time as a tech was exclusively in the independent space.
