Creating a safe environment by preventing crimes at unmanned stores and protecting small business owners and users

Yeongdeungpo-gu (District Mayor Choi Ho-kwon) announced that starting in August, it will provide free support for access authentication devices, intelligent CCTV, and more at 100 unmanned stores within the district, the first initiative of its kind nationwide.

Recently, most crimes occurring at unmanned stores, such as theft, product damage, and unauthorized occupation, have stemmed from the anonymity characteristic of unmanned stores. The district expects that installing access authentication devices to verify the identity of customers entering unmanned stores will significantly reduce such crimes.

In May of this year, Yeongdeungpo-gu signed a business agreement with Yeongdeungpo Police Station and the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA) to spread and apply safe security technologies within unmanned stores. Accordingly, safe security technology products will be introduced to unmanned stores located in Yeongdeungpo-gu to reduce crimes such as theft and burglary and to establish a safety network for unmanned stores.

The support targets unmanned stores in KISA-designated industries, including unmanned ice cream shops, unmanned stationery stores, unmanned cafes, and unmanned meal kit stores. Store owners wishing to apply can fill out and submit an application form via QR code or URL. KISA will accept applications for 100 unmanned stores on a first-come, first-served basis, review them, and install the safe security technology products.

The safe security technology products provided free of charge include one set of access authentication devices, six intelligent CCTVs, and a management app. The access authentication device and management app are mandatory installations, while the number of intelligent CCTVs installed varies according to the demand of each store.

The access authentication device allows unmanned store users to scan Naver or Kakao QR codes to enter the store. Store owners can check visitor access status through the management app and monitor CCTV footage in real time. Additionally, by selecting the door operation mode, they can activate or deactivate the access authentication device function and automate operating hours.

The intelligent CCTV automatically identifies and detects users entering the unmanned store. Store owners can broadcast guidance messages to users of the unmanned store through the management app.

For more details, please visit the Yeongdeungpo-gu Office or Yeongdeungpo Police Station websites. Inquiries to KISA are available on weekdays from 3 PM to 6 PM.

Choi Ho-kwon, Mayor of Yeongdeungpo-gu, stated, “Through the nationwide first business agreement to spread and apply safe security technologies, we are implementing a project to install access authentication devices and more free of charge at unmanned stores. We hope store owners show great interest and participation to create a safe environment for unmanned stores.” He added, “We will continue to strengthen cooperation with related organizations and groups to protect small business owners and children at unmanned stores and to eliminate safety blind spots.”
