π¦π·πΈπΉπ₯π€³ How do the cameras in supermarkets work?
I work at Edeka and occasionally have access to the manager's office, but I still don't understand exactly how the surveillance cameras work there. Can someone who's dealt with them explain it to me?
- Is there such a thing as facial recognition?
- Is there, so to speak, a "face tracking feature" that allows you to track a specific person through the entire store all day long, using their face, without having to manually switch cameras and search for that person every time?
- For example, does the boss also have access to real-time video surveillance on his mobile phone (instead of on his PC as usual)?
- Can you see precisely and clearly through the camera, for example, what a person has just typed into their phone?
- Can you also listen in on conversations?
- How large is the video memory and how long are the recordings stored?
- For example, do the cameras give a signal when someone enters a certain room/place in the room?
- Are there cameras in the entire rear warehouse area, or just the essential ones?
- Are there cameras in the toilet?
- Are there also hidden "very small/mini" cameras for security purposes?
Hidden cameras or even camera attacks without signs may not exist because they are not legally compliant. Cameras must be signposted as such, may only be used for specific purposes, e.g. no other “principle” can be detected… that is, only used to secure the goods, for example, neighboring property etc. is taboo. Accordingly, one should not take discussions, etc., because that attacks the right of personality. That would also apply if he now looks who’s typing something in his phone.
Image and sound recordings of other people β What is allowed?
Thank you!
Why don’t you ask your boss?
Where are you working? And how do you know all this?
Supplement:
For data protection reasons, 1 and 2 is very unlikely (in the EU), as the biometric data of customers would have to be collected, which is likely to be the GDPR Art. 9 Data with special protection requirements is not permitted.
5 sound recordings are contrary to Β§201 StGB, so rather no
6 Look at the sign or data protection information that must be suspended, as the storage periods are
At EDEKA it is so that most shops are in private hands.
Thus, the managing director (owner) decides what is used for a system.
Therefore, the cameras can have all the buckling taste, but do not have to.
You can’t say it in general.
Thank you.
Ps. you have an interesting profile picture, can I ask what this is?
