Gyeonggi-do to Expand Intelligent Surveillance System to 31 Cities and Counties by Next Year

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Gyeonggi Province will establish an intelligent surveillance system in 31 cities and counties within the province by next year.

Gyeonggi Province announced on the 26th that it plans to expand the intelligent surveillance system-equipped security closed-circuit (CC) CCTV, currently installed in 13 cities and counties including Suwon, to 31 cities and counties by next year.

The intelligent surveillance system automatically displays related footage to monitoring personnel when artificial intelligence detects specific behaviors such as loitering, intrusion, or falling.

First introduced by Namyangju City in 2018, the intelligent surveillance system has installed over 4,500 units in 12 cities and counties including Yongin by last year. This year, about 1,800 additional units will be installed in six cities and counties including Ansan.

Gyeonggi Province reported that the intelligent surveillance system has helped prevent violent crimes, such as apprehending a foreign man assaulting a woman and catching a criminal who took cash from the wallet of an intoxicated person.

An official from the province stated, "Some cities and counties are using CCTV speakers to inform the public about behavioral guidelines to prepare for summer heat waves," adding, "We will strive to ensure the intelligent surveillance system is promptly installed in all cities and counties to prevent crime and ensure the safety of residents."
