Yangcheon-gu Expands Intelligent CCTV by 340 Units to Combat 'Random Crimes'

340 Additional 'Intelligent CCTV' Units Installed for Proactive Detection of Abnormal Behavior in Crime-Prone Areas... Over 100 Park Security Cameras Expanded Around Parks and Walking Trails to Create Safe Walking Paths

Yangcheon-gu (District Mayor Lee Gi-jae) recently announced plans to strengthen the "security infrastructure" by expanding the installation of 340 intelligent CCTVs mainly in crime-vulnerable areas within the district until the end of the year, aiming to create a safe city to protect residents from the recent series of "indiscriminate heinous crimes."

Currently, the district operates a total of 3,609 security cameras at 1,141 locations within the area. By the end of the year, an additional 198 AI-based "intelligent CCTVs," which proactively detect abnormal behavior, will be installed in high-crime areas, and 142 units will be added in children's parks with many family visitors and along the Anyangcheon Stream. This is expected to enable rapid response such as immediate dispatch in emergency situations.

Moreover, while currently operating 350 park security cameras in parks and walking trails, the district plans to install about 100 more by 2025 to minimize crime blind spots along walking paths.

In addition, the district plans to conduct "big data comprehensive analysis" based on various crime, CCTV blind spots, and civil complaint information to select optimal CCTV installation locations, effectively preventing accidental crimes and incidents.

Furthermore, the district has established an "advanced control system" utilizing CCTV video information to improve monitoring efficiency and enable rapid response. The "Smart City Integrated Platform," built in 2019, links police, fire stations, disaster networks (NDMS), and social vulnerability protection information systems to share monitoring videos with related agencies in real time during emergencies, thereby enhancing the quality of public safety services through immediate response.

In 2021, an AI-powered "selective monitoring system" based on deep learning technology was applied to CCTV cameras. The "selective monitoring system" uses intelligent video analysis technology to filter and show only videos with movement such as people or vehicles to monitoring personnel. This minimizes monitoring gaps as operators do not need to check thousands of videos individually.

Additionally, the district plans to expand and relocate the Integrated Control Center by the end of the year to open the "Smart Yangcheon Urban Integrated Control Center," a data hub that combines integrated control and smart services, further strengthening the urban safety network.

Lee Gi-jae, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, stated, "We will carefully inspect every corner to significantly strengthen security infrastructure such as expanding intelligent CCTVs and operating an advanced integrated control system, so that Yangcheon-gu can become a safe city where all residents can live with peace of mind."
