This Weldex Public View Monitor pairs a built-in camera with a visible display so people in view of the camera can see themselves on screen in real time — a well-established loss-prevention tactic used at retail counters, entrances, and teller stations to visibly deter shoplifting and other on-camera misconduct rather than only recording it after the fact. It combines the monitor and camera in a single enclosure to simplify installation versus running a separate camera and screen, and several models in the line add features such as an IR remote, a built-in DVR, or LED backlighting for visibility in bright ambient light. It's intended for mounting where the public can see it, not for covert surveillance. Model WDL-2700PVM specifically ships with 27" size.
