Yes, these are similar, but do not provide a unique identification. You can can also have two people at the same address with the same name on different cards from different accounts.

I'm not saying there is a not a solution to track people - if there is the will, the money and the time. All I said was that "we can solve this easily with CCTV" (paraphrased) is wrong.Comment
