Cameras aren't just for deterring shoplifting. Video analytics can tell a retailer the age and gender of shoppers, what they touch and where they go in a store.
"We had a store targeting the Millennial crowd when it turned out it was Gen X shopping there," said Shelley Kohan, vice president of retail consulting at RetailNext.
