[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Hyunjin] Global security solutions company Hanwha Techwin announced on the 27th that it recently installed CCTV cameras for monitoring volcanic activity in the Reykjavik area of Iceland.

Iceland is a country with about 100 volcanoes and is geologically located between the Eurasian Plate and the North American Plate, making volcanic activity very active.

Hanwha Techwin stated that the newly installed CCTV is designed to operate normally even at high temperatures exceeding 50 degrees Celsius and to prevent device malfunction by blocking various dust particles such as volcanic ash and dust. It is also equipped with a fog correction function that provides clear images even when fog or smoke occurs around the volcano, and a shake correction function that delivers stable images even if the camera shakes due to wind or earthquakes.

Additionally, considering the difficulty of installing separate power supply facilities, the CCTV can supply power independently through solar and wind energy. Volcanic activity footage captured by Hanwha Techwin CCTV is broadcast live 24 hours a day worldwide through local media.

A Hanwha Techwin official said, "Building a video solution on an active volcano was a very challenging task, but through this, we were able to demonstrate our outstanding technological capabilities," adding, "We will continue to strengthen our position as a 'solution provider' that delivers solutions customers want in any environment."
