Eunpyeong-gu, Pilot Installation and Operation of 24-Hour Illegal Filming Automatic Detection System

Public Procurement Service Selected as '2023 4th Innovative Product Pilot Use Institution'... Pilot Operation for Public Restrooms in the Region from March to December for 10 Months

Eunpyeong-gu (Mayor Kim Mi-kyung) announced that it plans to install and operate a ‘24-hour Illegal Filming Automatic Detection System’ targeting public restrooms in the area.

This project is being carried out after being selected as the ‘4th Innovative Product Pilot Use Institution of 2023’ by the Public Procurement Service.

The ‘Innovative Product Pilot Use’ system is a program in which the Public Procurement Service directly purchases innovative products and provides them to demand institutions to create demonstration cases, support initial market entry of products, and promote improvement of public services in demand institutions.

The ‘24-hour Illegal Filming Automatic Detection System’ analyzes wireless signal patterns based on AI technology. Through learning, it distinguishes unauthorized cameras from wireless signals of everyday devices such as smartphones, tablet PCs, and CCTVs, automatically detecting illegal cameras.

In particular, the district expects to alleviate residents’ anxiety through fixed installation and 24-hour unmanned operation with constant inspection, overcoming the physical limitations that occur when checking once or twice a month with lens-type or electromagnetic wave detectors, thanks to its high detection rate.

Eunpyeong-gu plans to install detection devices in 15 locations, including community centers and park restrooms, in March and conduct a 10-month pilot operation until December. During the operation period, the devices will be inspected once a month, and after the operation, user surveys, device performance checks, and effectiveness analysis will be conducted.

Mayor Kim Mi-kyung stated, “I hope that the pilot operation of the 24-hour Illegal Filming Automatic Detection System will provide an opportunity for residents to use public restrooms with peace of mind,” and added, “We will make further efforts to prevent digital sex crimes and ensure the safety of residents in their daily lives.”
