Well ... as it happens there are number cameras in each store, and in
particular each Linux till has a camera over it.  Each store is
connected by a VPN running over the internet so head office, and we can
watch the live video feed form any or the cameras right where I sit. 
But, (and there had to be a but, didn't there?) the resolution is not
good enough to see the screen.  And wouldn't expect it do be.  The
resolution of each camera would have to be at least twice that of the
screen.  They don't even come close.
