I have no doubt that the landlords have installed this tech to keep tracks on people who come into the area they think are up to no good. They have probably added all the photos of the people who have been caught shoplifting, pick pocketing etc around that area, so as soon as they are flagged up on the facial recognition the security staff can go and harass them until they go away.
They will probably also use it to monitor their own workers to see if staff are taking too many smoking breaks or in areas they shouldn't be.
I think everyone should walk through the area then submit a GDPR request for all the data they have recorded from them, they will soon realise its not worth the hassle after they receive 100s of requests per day.
