We don't want you losing sleep over this, so we persist.

How about this--WalMart has super-deep pockets. Lawyers love to go after deep pockets. If a customer were criminally abused in a WalMart parking lot they might well file a claim against the company alleging failure to provide adequate security. The cameras are a defense against such a claim. And if operating properly, they might provide law enforcement with evidence.

Also, WalMart stores have lots of merchandise sitting outside, from landscaping materials to riding lawnmowers. A pair of daring thieves with a fast truck might be tempted to liberate such things without payment. They may well be dissuaded by the cameras.
