(CNN) - Target is introducing new technology to combat theft at its self-checkout registers.

The technology is called Truscan. The cameras will be able to detect items on scanners and anything unscanned.

Shoppers will get audio and visual cues when they do not scan items properly.

Truscan will also help Target track those who repeatedly fail to scan their items, even after being prompted.

The new technology will be rolled out to all stores this year.

Last month, Target announced it would limit self-checkout to 10 items or fewer at most stores beginning on March 17.
