Guro-gu Improves Performance of 60 Old Emergency Bells

Replacing with high-performance equipment using internet phone system... Press the bell in emergencies to connect to the control center... Quick response possible including police dispatch requests... A total of 903 units operated in child protection zones, parks, etc.

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Guro-gu has improved the performance of outdated emergency bells to create a safer living environment.

Guro-gu stated on the 17th, “We have installed and are operating security CCTV and emergency bells in locations such as school zones, parks, and residential areas where there is a risk of safety accidents,” and added, “To improve the performance of outdated emergency bells, we replaced them with high-performance equipment using the IP network (Internet phone) method.”

The previously installed emergency bells used an analog system, which caused a lot of noise and poor sound quality, necessitating performance improvements.

Accordingly, following the replacement of 108 units last year, this year 60 emergency bells were replaced mainly in residential areas such as Oryu-ro 8-gil and Gurojungang-ro. The total number of emergency bells operated by the district now stands at 903 units. The remaining 22 outdated emergency bells are also planned to be replaced within this year.

Emergency bells connect the site and the control center in real time during emergencies.

When the emergency bell is pressed, the site video immediately appears on the Guro-gu control center’s ‘Smart City Integrated Platform’ screen, allowing the control center to quickly take measures such as requesting police dispatch while watching the site footage.

A Guro-gu official said, “We expect that improving the performance of emergency bells will be effective in providing psychological stability to residents and preventing crime,” and added, “We will do our best to establish a dense safety network that residents can feel secure in.”

Meanwhile, Guro-gu has installed and is operating a total of 4,075 CCTVs in locations with a high risk of safety accidents such as school zones, women’s safe return paths, residential areas, and riversides.

Last year, outdated and low-resolution security CCTVs with less than 400,000 pixels were replaced with high-resolution equipment of about 2 million pixels, and this year, CCTVs for flood prevention and facility management are also planned to be upgraded.
