Daejeon City Replaces Outdated Equipment for Emergency Safety and Security Service

[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Daejeon City will replace outdated equipment for the emergency safety and security service provided to elderly living alone and households with disabled members.

On the 8th, the city announced that it will carry out a project to replace some equipment, such as fire and activity detection sensors, installed to provide the emergency safety and security service.

The emergency safety and security service installs automatic detection device sensors inside the residence to automatically connect to the fire station and emergency management personnel in case of emergencies or fire outbreaks, supporting prompt rescue operations 24 hours a day, year-round.

The equipment replacement targets approximately 3,800 households where equipment was previously installed, as well as about 2,000 new installation households.

New installations target residents aged 65 or older and disabled persons who actually reside at the address, regardless of registered residence or cohabitation status.

The equipment to be replaced has been in use for over five years, and the new equipment utilizes the Internet of Things (IoT) to recognize voice commands and is equipped with systems such as music, weather, and video calls.

Jeong Gi-ryong, head of the Elderly Welfare Division of the city, said, “Once the installation of new equipment using IoT devices is completed, it will become a reliable safety guardian for elderly people living alone and disabled persons,” adding, “We hope that the replacement of the new devices will provide convenience in users’ daily lives and help with safety and emotional support.”
