Yeosu City Introduces Province's First 'Walking Trail Crime Prevention System'

Utilizing Personal Smartphone Mobile CCTV
Linking with Integrated CCTV Control Center in Emergencies

Yeosu City, South Jeolla Province (Mayor Jung Kimyung) announced on the 9th that it has established a 'Walking Trail Crime Prevention System' in the areas of Gubongsan and Goraksan to eliminate CCTV blind spots, and has been operating it since January.

The 'Walking Trail Crime Prevention System', the first of its kind in South Jeolla Province, utilizes personal smartphones as mobile CCTVs. In the event of an emergency, it is linked to the Yeosu City CCTV Integrated Control Center (hereafter referred to as the Control Center), enabling a swift response.

When users tap 'Send Video' on their smartphone screen, real-time footage is transmitted to the Control Center. If they press 'Emergency Report', a Control Center staff member communicates with the reporter to assess the situation and, if necessary, connects to relevant agencies such as the police or fire department.

This system can be used by scanning the QR code on the information signs installed at park entrances or along the walking trails.

A city official stated, "We believe that this service can be implemented not only on walking and hiking trails but also in island areas where installing CCTV is difficult," and added, "We expect it to play a groundbreaking role in creating a safer Yeosu through various uses such as crime prevention and disaster situation alerts."
