If the people running the cameras are as knowledgeable about their job as the people working the floor, they'll show nothing but blurs.And rude too. I was in a HD store this morning, couldn't find something I knew they carried, and called out to a guy walking down the main central aisle. I gave him a couple choruses of "Hello! Excuse me!", but he just kept walking, even though I know he heard me. Also, I know they mention theft numerous times in the article, but my first thought was shrinkage, which I didn't see mentioned once.

Telling the press you are installing a super-duper 21st century camera system to reduce shoplifting makes investors feel warm and fuzzy. Saying you are doing to keep your employees from robbing you blind has a different effect on Wall Street.
