Jungnang-gu Introduces 'CCTV Smart Digital Notification System'

Introduction of 'CCTV Smart Digital Notification System' at 20 Locations Including Ihwagyo~Wolleunggyo Section... Broadcasting Information on COVID-19 Prevention Guidelines, Civil Defense Training, and Missing Children Alerts

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) is attracting attention by creating a smart city for crime prevention.

The district officially introduced the ‘CCTV Smart Digital Notification System’ in December at 20 locations within the area, including in front of Jungnang-gu Office and the section from Ihwa Bridge to Wollung Bridge.

The ‘CCTV Smart Digital Notification System’ is a security system that combines surveillance CCTV with an emergency bell and monitor. It enhances the existing security system, which alerts emergencies by pressing an emergency button, by adding a visual function.

With this system, when the emergency button is pressed in a crisis, the monitor displays a screen saying ‘Connecting to Jungnang-gu CCTV Integrated Control Center Situation Room’ and connects to the control room, making it easy for hearing-impaired people who cannot hear the emergency bell to recognize the situation.

Additionally, the screen usually broadcasts information necessary for residents’ daily lives, such as COVID-19 infection prevention guidelines, civil defense training announcements, and missing child alerts.

Moreover, the system is installed in the section from Ihwa Bridge to Wollung Bridge, where the ‘Seoul Rose Festival’ is held, and during the festival period, it will broadcast various festival-related information in QR code format.

Ryu Kyung-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, said, “The introduction of this system will serve as a case of establishing a platform for crime prevention and smart city creation,” adding, “We will also add functions to measure weather conditions such as fine dust and fog, which have recently attracted much interest, in real time.”

Opened in 2013, the ‘Jungnang-gu CCTV Integrated Control Center’ is staffed by 18 control personnel including police officers, operating CCTV 24/7 throughout the year for various purposes, effectively playing the role of a safety guardian to prevent crimes and accidents.
