SKT Switches Video Surveillance Solution 'T Live Caster' to Subscription Model

Cloud-Based... No Need for Servers or Networks

[Asia Economy Reporter Minyoung Cha] SK Telecom announced on the 20th that it will launch the ‘T Live Caster Plan,’ which converts its high-definition real-time video surveillance solution ‘T Live Caster’ into a subscription-based model.

T Live Caster is a mobile video surveillance solution optimized for cameras that cannot be connected via wired connections, such as drones or smartphones. It is used for industrial site monitoring, safety management, remote technical support, and live broadcasting. The T Live Caster Plan is a subscription-based web service version of this solution.

The T Live Caster Plan can be accessed through SK Telecom’s cloud server, the ‘T Live Studio Server,’ which allows customers to avoid building physical servers or network infrastructure themselves. Businesses with fluctuating surveillance target areas and high initial setup costs have shown greater demand for cloud-based subscription models compared to traditional on-premise products.

The T Live Caster Plan operates on a subscription basis where customers select the number of camera channels, helping reduce operating costs. The usage fee is approximately KRW 100,000 per channel per month and KRW 300,000 for four channels, excluding VAT, with a basic contract period of one year.

Additionally, users can access all features simply by connecting through a web browser without installing any separate programs. Users can monitor live footage with less than one-second delay and remotely control on-site cameras, IP CCTVs, and drone cameras via the web browser. It also provides advanced object recognition capabilities through artificial intelligence (AI) video analysis.

In the second half of this year, SK Telecom plans to launch a subscription-based service by adding features such as facility management and solar panel inspection through AI video analysis to TLC Landview, a geographic information management platform utilizing drone footage.

Choi Nak-hoon, Head of SK Telecom Smart Factory CO, said, “We are pleased to launch a video surveillance service that meets customer demands,” and added, “SK Telecom will continue to do its best to introduce new services in industrial sites through ICT technologies such as 5G, cloud, and AI.”
