Bunnings will test facial recognition in two Hamilton stores in April 2026 to reduce theft and violence, using privacy-protected, real-time identification of known offenders.
Bunnings Warehouse will test facial recognition technology in two Hamilton stores starting April 2026 to combat repeat offenders and reduce theft and violent incidents.
The system identifies known offenders to enable staff intervention, with unmatched images deleted within seconds and clear signage posted.
The move follows a 16% drop in serious harm incidents in a similar Christchurch trial.
Bunnings says the technology is part of a broader safety strategy including security staff and training, and is implementing it with privacy safeguards, community input, and phased rollout.
