[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Yeongdeungpo-gu (District Mayor Chae Hyun-il) is making every effort to ensure the safety of residents by newly installing 278 high-definition multipurpose CCTVs and improving the performance of 333 existing CCTVs by July.

Multipurpose CCTVs play an important role in daily life, not only for crime prevention but also for protecting children, cracking down on illegal parking, and monitoring illegal garbage dumping. Accordingly, the district is investing a total of 2 billion KRW from national and district funds to build a dense CCTV safety network.

First, the district selected 104 safety-vulnerable locations within the area and will newly install 278 high-definition multipurpose CCTVs by July.

Based on opinions from the Yeongdeungpo Police Station and residents, locations urgently needing CCTV installation were selected, and the final sites were confirmed through the Yeongdeungpo-gu Video Information Processing Device Operation Committee review.

All newly installed CCTVs are 2-megapixel high-definition, making it easy to identify individuals and expected to be useful in emergencies. With this new installation, the average number of CCTVs per neighborhood will increase by 15.4 units.

Additionally, applying the crime prevention technique CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design), CCTV poles will be painted yellow, and emergency bells will be installed at each site. Pressing the emergency bell in a crisis immediately connects to the Yeongdeungpo-gu Integrated Control Center, enabling quick support from the district office and police.

Furthermore, 333 outdated or end-of-life CCTV cameras will all be replaced with 2-megapixel high-definition models, and fixed auxiliary cameras will be added to rotating CCTVs to eliminate blind spots in crime prevention.

With the introduction of high-definition CCTVs, the district will expand video storage capacity by 1,100 terabytes and install temperature and humidity control devices as well as uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) in the information and communication room to ensure stable control center operations.

Chae Hyun-il, Mayor of Yeongdeungpo-gu, stated, “We are eliminating safety blind spots by newly installing and improving the performance of high-definition CCTVs. Yeongdeungpo-gu will create a safe and livable ‘Open Yeongdeungpo’ by responding quickly to emergencies.”
