9. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein providing the generated digital signal to the extended reality device further causes the extended reality device to display in the extended reality environment virtual position indicators of the actual positions of the plurality of cameras in the retail store.
10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein providing the generated digital signal to the extended reality device further causes the extended reality device to display in the extended reality environment a visual indication of at least one physical portion of the retail store not covered by the plurality of cameras.
11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the at least one physical portion of the retail store not covered by the plurality of cameras is selected from a physical portion of the retail store not covered by the plurality of cameras based on a product type associated with the at least one physical portion of the retail store.
12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the at least one physical portion of the retail store not covered by the plurality of cameras is selected from a physical portion of the retail store not covered by the plurality of cameras based on a product category associated with the at least one physical portion of the retail store.
13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the at least one physical portion of the retail store not covered by the plurality of cameras is selected from a physical portion of the retail store not covered by the plurality of cameras based on a planogram associated with the at least one physical portion of the retail store.
14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the at least one physical portion of the retail store not covered by the plurality of cameras is selected from a physical portion of the retail store not covered by the plurality of cameras based on a sales data associated with products associated with the at least one physical portion of the retail store.
15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the at least one physical portion of the retail store not covered by the plurality of cameras is selected from a physical portion of the retail store not covered by the plurality of cameras based on a price associated with products associated with the at least one physical portion of the retail store.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein providing the generated digital signal to the extended reality device further causes the extended reality device to display in the extended reality environment a visual indication of a proposed location for an installation of an additional camera.
17. A method for facilitating camera system inspection in an extended reality environment, the method comprising:
receiving camera location information associated with a plurality of cameras deployed in a retail store, the camera location information being indicative of an actual position of each camera of the plurality of cameras;
receiving, for each camera of the plurality of cameras, at least one camera status indicator;
using the received camera location information and the received camera status indicators to generate a digital signal; and
providing the generated digital signal to an extended reality device to thereby cause the extended reality device to display a visual representation of the at least one camera status indicator for each camera of the plurality of cameras relative to the actual position of each camera of the plurality of cameras in the retail store, wherein the visual representation of the at least one camera status indicator provides a visual representation of a camera field of view, the visual representation of the camera field of view including a two-dimensional map view of the camera field of view relative to the retail store.
18. A system for facilitating camera system inspection in an extended reality environment, the system comprising at least one processing device and a memory storing instructions that when executed by the at least one processing device cause the at least one processing device to:
