Schools Preparing to Reopen Use AI to Prevent School Violence

'Intelligent CCTV' Automatically Detecting School Violence Gains Popularity
S1 "Will Contribute to Creating a Safe Educational Environment"

Schools nationwide are taking advantage of the winter vacation to introduce AI-based security solutions, leading to a boom in the related industry. This is due to the increasing number of safety accidents and school violence on campuses, which has heightened anxiety among students and teachers. A recent survey by the Ministry of Education revealed that 68.8% of school violence incidents occurred on school premises, making it urgent to establish preventive measures ahead of the new semester. Local education offices are also recommending the introduction of intelligent CCTV as one of the solutions and are providing subsidies.

On the 21st, S-1 announced that sales of its "school-exclusive AI solution," which helps prevent school violence and safety accidents, are increasing. This solution is a combined product of "intelligent CCTV" and "facial recognition readers." The number of intelligent CCTV units sold last year increased by about 52% compared to the previous year, and sales of facial recognition readers also rose by approximately 30% year-on-year.

An S-1 security officer recently visited a middle school in Seoul that installed intelligent CCTV to explain the 'school violence algorithm.'

S-1's intelligent CCTV features an "automatic school violence detection" function through real-time video analysis algorithms. Traditional CCTVs were only used for post-incident evidence, making immediate response to violent situations difficult. In contrast, intelligent CCTV instantly recognizes violent incidents occurring on campus through a "school violence algorithm" and automatically notifies school administrators, enabling active response to the situation. The school violence algorithm uses deep learning technology to learn various behavior patterns and distinguishes between normal school activities and violent situations. Additionally, a specialized algorithm detects attempts to disable the camera by covering it with hands or objects and immediately sends alerts.

It is also expected to have an effect on preventing safety accidents. Through the intelligent CCTV's "restricted area setting," if access occurs to rooftops or secluded areas, AI immediately notifies administrators, reducing potential safety accidents. Furthermore, real-time video analysis algorithms for situations such as "fire," "smoke," and "entry into dangerous zones" allow for immediate detection of abnormal situations and prompt action.

S-1's "Facial Recognition Reader 2.0" also uses deep learning-based technology that learns autonomously to effectively control the entry of outsiders into schools. Installed at various school entrances, it restricts access to outsiders whose photos are not pre-registered. Recognition time has been reduced from 1 second to 0.6 seconds, minimizing the inconvenience of waiting in line during busy times such as arrival and dismissal. The system can manage up to 50,000 users, making it applicable not only to elementary, middle, and high schools but also to large university campuses.

An S-1 official stated, "As the new semester approaches, more schools are adopting security solutions to strengthen campus safety," adding, "We will continue to develop AI solutions to prevent campus crimes and safety accidents and contribute to creating a safe educational environment."
