[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Su-yeon] LG HelloVision announced on the 24th that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with S-1 for "home security market product development and sales activation." The goal is to prevent residential security incidents and establish a safety system through cooperation between regional cable TV operators and domestic security companies.

The signing ceremony took place on the 23rd at LG HelloVision headquarters in Sangam-dong, Seoul, attended by key officials including Song Gu-young, CEO of LG HelloVision, and Choi Chan-gyo, Head of Security Service Division at S-1. Both parties agreed to mutually cooperate on ▲launching home security products ▲distribution channel partnerships ▲new product development ▲joint service planning.

The two companies will strive to create synergy through the development of a home Internet of Things (IoT) platform linked with security services. S-1 will develop and supply smart home IoT products specialized in security and convenience, while LG HelloVision plans to support mainly through product sales, installation, and after-sales service.

The "Hello Home Door Cam" (tentative name), scheduled for release early next year, focuses on security at the front door. It is equipped with various smart features including ▲real-time monitoring of pedestrian approach at the front door and live video monitoring ▲automatic masking of facial areas and neighbors' front doors for privacy protection ▲real-time voice calls with visitors via a mobile app ▲pre-registration system and abnormal behavior detection.

This home door cam is perfect for all households, including single-person households. Since it allows users to easily check entry and exit information at the front door, it is expected to attract significant interest from dual-income parents curious about their children’s or housekeeper’s comings and goings, elderly parents, weekend couples, and customers who prioritize family safety. It is especially anticipated to be popular among women, the elderly, and single-person households who have a high interest in residential security issues such as home intrusion and package theft.

S-1 stated, "In the future, based on the expandable interface of the home door cam, we plan to provide complex home services such as package management and resident care through IoT sensor and smart appliance integration."

Song Gu-young, CEO of LG HelloVision, said, "We aim to strengthen business competitiveness by combining LG HelloVision’s broadcasting and telecommunications capabilities with S-1’s security industry expertise, actively entering the home security market and enhancing synergy."
