Seoul City Completes Phase 2 of Major Maintenance on Seoul Forest CCTV and Safety Bells

Seoul Forest CCTV Upgraded in Phases Last Year
28 Old CCTV Units Replaced...All 67 Existing Units Upgraded to High Definition, 12 Emergency Bells Also Serviced

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] On the 11th, Seoul City announced that it has replaced all CCTV cameras installed for citizen safety in Seoul Forest with high-definition cameras and upgraded all emergency bells used in urgent situations to the latest equipment.

Through the second phase of maintenance, Seoul City replaced 28 low-resolution (under 1 million pixels) CCTV cameras with high-definition (2 million pixels) cameras and refurbished all related facilities such as communication lines. From October, all 67 CCTV cameras installed throughout Seoul Forest will operate with high-definition cameras.

Emergency bells that can contact the Seoul Forest control room in case of emergencies were also replaced with the latest equipment. The emergency bells are installed at 12 major locations with CCTV and are connected to the control room 24 hours a day to protect citizens' safety.

To eliminate CCTV blind spots in some remaining security-vulnerable areas in Seoul, an additional 33 CCTV cameras will be installed in the first half of next year. Once this third phase of maintenance is completed, a total of 100 CCTV cameras will be operated for crime prevention and safety management.

Park Mi-ae, head of the Eastern Park and Greenery Office of Seoul City, said, “We will continue to maintain the aging CCTV facilities in Seoul Forest and expand safety facilities such as LED park lights. We will strive to ensure that Seoul citizens can always use Seoul Forest safely and comfortably.”
