Yeah, I used to install those a couple years ago as a security tech.
Unless they are at the register, those screens don't even record back to a central DVR. Just a local SD card inside the screen itself. The only wire running to them is low voltage DC power, no video or network. Those things aren't really an issue in the grand scheme, they are less intrusive than a regular security camera since you can't even view them live at the head end.
Now the bigger ones hanging from a pole in the ceiling, yes those ARE being centrally recorded.
I'm not sure which these were, but either way, I found their presence offensive. Thanks for the information though!
