Yangcheon-gu Crime Prevention CCTV Area Smart 'Automatic' Guidance Broadcast Transmission

Automatic Broadcasts Using Digital Audio Equipment at 905 Security CCTV Locations to Promote Social Distancing Compliance... Collaboration with Yangcheon Police Station for Crime Prevention Warnings and Weather Disaster Alerts Including Fine Dust, Heatwaves, and Cold Waves

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Yangcheon-gu (Mayor Kim Soo-young) has been automatically broadcasting social distancing compliance guidance, various weather disaster forecasts, and crime prevention warning announcements using the digital audio equipment of local security CCTVs since this month.

The district operates 905 security CCTV locations (as of December 2020) and an integrated control center throughout the area. Previously, when control operators detected people smoking in non-smoking parks or gathering without wearing masks during real-time monitoring, they would broadcast guidance announcements verbally.

After a successful pilot operation last November, from this month, the district upgraded to a smart ‘automatic’ guidance broadcasting system by utilizing the automatic broadcasting transmission system of the CCTV digital emergency bell server.

The district broadcasts social distancing guidance and fine dust forecast announcements at one-hour intervals during daytime hours (10 a.m. to 6 p.m.) in parks and other areas with security CCTVs, considering the frequency of noise complaints. In collaboration with the Yangcheon Police Station, it also broadcasts crime prevention announcements in areas with frequent crimes such as bicycle theft and voice phishing.

Additionally, in the event of unexpected heavy rain, monsoon, or other weather disasters, the district plans to expand customized local announcements using security CCTVs in cooperation with related departments.

Kim Soo-young, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, stated, “By broadcasting guidance announcements using the digital audio equipment of security CCTVs installed throughout the district, we expect to take a step closer to a smart city Yangcheon that residents can feel. Above all, we will continue various efforts to realize a safe city Yangcheon where residents can feel secure.”
