Ganghwa County Ensures Safety with Intelligent Smart Control System

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Ganghwa County announced on the 15th that it is building and operating an intelligent smart control system that dramatically improves CCTV monitoring efficiency.

The intelligent smart control system uses video analysis technology to filter and display only CCTV footage with movement centered on monitoring subjects such as people and vehicles through artificial intelligence as a priority. Unlike the existing operation method, it detects situations with abnormal signs, enabling efficient monitoring and rapid response measures.

The county expects that the system introduction will not only improve the working environment by increasing the concentration of monitoring personnel, but also help in the efficient prevention of various incidents and accidents and enable swift responses.

The Ganghwa County Integrated Control Center, which opened in 2016, monitors the entire county with approximately 700 CCTV cameras. It intensively monitors crime-vulnerable areas and disaster-prone areas including the Ganghwa, Choji, Gyodong, and Seokmo bridges, as well as children's protection zones, parks, and streams.

County Governor Yu Cheon-ho stated, "With the installation of cutting-edge smart systems, we will carefully examine even vulnerable areas that could be overlooked during surveillance to do our best for the safety of our residents," and added, "Through close cooperation with the police station, we will create an even safer Ganghwa."
