Amazon is phasing out its checkout-less grocery stores with “Just Walk Out” technology, first reported by The Information Tuesday. The company’s senior vice president of grocery stores says they’re moving away from Just Walk Out, which relied on cameras and sensors to track what people were leaving the store with.

    Do you know how long do they keep video for, or is it just eternity?

      That was can vary, I’d it’s a PTZ (pan, tilt, zoom) camera only like 3-5 days. Otherwise up to 30 days. If we were actually saving video, it was to make a police report, and we would burn it to a CD for a cop to collect. Otherwise we just used the videos to get pictures and save those to the persons profile, presumably for forever. Also as a side note the PTZ camera can get your license plate, clearly, from anywhere it can line of sight see in the parking lots.
