Daegu Urban Railroad to Install CCTV in All Cars Starting January... 'Crime Prevention and Passenger Safety Secured'

CCTV installed in the train car of Daegu Metro Line 2.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Gu Daeseon] Daegu Transportation Corporation has completed the installation of CCTV cameras in all train cars on Lines 1, 2, and 3 to prevent crimes on trains and ensure passenger safety, and will begin full operation starting January 1st of the new year.

Since 2015, Daegu Transportation Corporation has operated CCTV only on Line 3 of the Daegu Metro.

This time, two cameras per train car were installed on Lines 1 and 2 as well, storing high-definition 2-megapixel video to eliminate crime blind spots.

The newly installed CCTV is linked with train fire detectors and emergency intercoms so that the train operator can monitor the situation inside the cars in real time from the driver's cabin in case of emergencies such as train fires.

Additionally, in the event of abnormal situations such as a passenger collapsing, the operator in the driver's cabin can also verify the situation, which is expected to have a significant effect on crime prevention as well as ensuring passenger safety.

Train car CCTV footage will be used only for purposes such as criminal investigations in accordance with the Personal Information Protection Act.

Kim Ki-hyeok, President of Daegu Transportation Corporation, said, “We expect that simply installing CCTV on trains will have a great effect on crime prevention,” and added, “We will continue to do our best so that citizens can use the metro safely and conveniently.”
