[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunjin Jeong] Video security solution company 'Hanwha Techwin' announced on the 7th that it will install the world's highest resolution CCTV developed with its own technology on Dokdo.

Hanwha Techwin explained that it will install CCTV cameras on the rooftop of the Seodo residents' accommodation and the Dongdo helipad, respectively, to build a video security solution that can prevent disasters and safety accidents in Dokdo and its surrounding waters in advance. Considering the symbolic significance of Dokdo, the footage from these CCTVs will be streamed in real time so that anyone in the nation can view the scenery of Dokdo.

The newly installed CCTV is an 8K ultra-high-resolution network camera developed by Hanwha Techwin last year, the world's first of its kind. The 8K resolution is at a level where it can identify a person's clothing and even facial expressions from about 150 meters away.

Various video analysis functions using artificial intelligence (AI) are also provided. If movement is detected in restricted areas such as coastal zones, an alert is sent immediately, and the AI tracks and shows the movement direction of the object automatically. Through the 'Best Shot' feature, where AI automatically saves and displays the image that best captures the characteristics of the object, rapid response to incidents and accidents is possible.

A Hanwha Techwin official said, "Dokdo is a region with rugged terrain and frequent severe weather, making it a high-risk area for various accidents," adding, "Since one camera can monitor a wide area in high definition, it can be installed and operated efficiently without damaging Dokdo's natural scenery."
