Geumcheon-gu Innovates CCTV System to Eliminate Crime Blind Spots

Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yu Seong-hoon) announced that it has established an intelligent city safety network that can connect closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage in real time with related agencies such as police stations, fire stations, and city hall in case of emergencies.

The 2,881 CCTV cameras at 845 locations operated by Geumcheon-gu share video information in real time with related agencies including the ‘Smart Seoul CCTV Safety Center,’ Geumcheon Police Station, and Geumcheon Fire Station.

In addition to disaster situations, emergency situations such as the recent increase in indiscriminate crimes allow police and fire station control rooms and patrol cars to immediately check on-site footage.

Furthermore, Geumcheon-gu will install three intelligent crowd management CCTVs that can measure crowd density around Gasan Digital Complex Station by November.

It also plans to add 278 lifestyle safety CCTV cameras at 84 locations and replace 302 outdated cameras in the existing CCTV system to eliminate crime blind spots.

Yu Seong-hoon, Mayor of Geumcheon-gu, stated, “By establishing an intelligent city safety network, we will secure the golden time for residents’ safety and strengthen the joint response system among the district office, police, and fire departments.”
