         9 . The machine readable non-transitory medium of  claim 8 , wherein the stored instruction that, when executed by one or more processors, further operatively enable transaction analytics/analysis module to receive video data associated with a point of sale. 
     
     
         10 . The machine readable non-transitory medium of  claim 8 , wherein the stored instruction that, when executed by one or more processors, further operatively enable transaction analytics/analysis module to perform analysis using machine vision. 
     
     
         11 . The machine readable non-transitory medium of  claim 8 , wherein the stored instruction that, when executed by one or more processors, further operatively enable transaction analytics/analysis module to perform analytics on the received video data associated with the first transaction. 
     
     
         12 . The machine readable non-transitory medium of  claim 11 , wherein the stored instruction that, when executed by one or more processors, further operatively enable transaction analytics/analysis module to:

         13 . The machine readable non-transitory medium of  claim 8 , wherein the stored instruction that, when executed by one or more processors, further operatively enable transaction analytics/analysis module to transmit a signal to a second video device within a predetermined proximity to the first video device. 
     
     
         14 . The machine readable non-transitory medium of  claim 8 , wherein the stored instruction that, when executed by one or more processors, further operatively enable transaction analytics/analysis module to:
 generate one or more selectable events based at least in part on the transactions and video data from the first and second video devices; and   correlate the one or more selectable events with the received video data associated with the first transaction from the first video device and the subsequent transaction from the second video device.
