Haenam County, Only Local Government in South Jeolla Selected for Ministry of the Interior and Safety's 'AI CCTV Surveillance' Project

Proven Intelligent Surveillance Capabilities...
Establishing a Connected Video Network
AI-Powered System for Proactive Disaster and Crime Response
"Creating a Smart and Safe City with 24/7 Comprehensive Monitoring"

Haenam County in South Jeolla Province has been finally selected as the local government to link video information for the "Artificial Intelligence (AI)-Based Local Government CCTV Surveillance Support System Construction" project, which is supervised by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety. This selection will accelerate the creation of a smart and safe city in Haenam.

According to Haenam County on July 2, the county will establish leading relay infrastructure within its Integrated Control Center, creating an environment where video information can be seamlessly connected between the local government CCTV Integrated Control Center and the central surveillance support system.

This project aims to utilize CCTV footage owned by local governments to build high-quality AI training data and, based on this, to advance public safety AI services. Five local governments across the country, including Haenam County, Namyangju City and Hwaseong City in Gyeonggi Province, Daejeon Metropolitan City, and Yangsan City in South Gyeongsang Province, are participating.

Additionally, public safety-related footage will be extracted using information from the selective surveillance system’s detection data, surveillance logs, and report reception data from the smart city integrated platform. After undergoing a thorough anonymization process, the footage will be provided to the central system.

Through this, Haenam County will produce core training data for developing AI algorithms capable of proactively responding to various crisis situations such as flooding and abnormal behavior. The county also plans to actively support the effective application of future public safety AI services in actual disaster or security situations.

Currently, Haenam County operates all CCTV cameras installed throughout the region 24 hours a day, without any blind spots, through its Integrated Control Center. In particular, the introduction of an intelligent selective surveillance system has continuously enhanced the county’s ability to prevent crime and respond to accidents. The county has also focused on securing a rapid golden time in the event of incidents and accidents through close cooperation with related agencies such as the police and fire departments.

The county explained that its outstanding integrated surveillance operation capabilities and ongoing efforts to build an AI-based surveillance environment received high marks in this public competition, once again proving its status as a leading local government in smart safety management systems.

A county official stated, “Being selected as the local government to link video information is the result of Haenam County’s advanced integrated surveillance operation capabilities and efforts to realize a smart and safe city. We will continue to actively utilize AI technology to enhance our safety management response system and create a 'Smart Safe City Haenam' where all residents can live with peace of mind.”
