2024.08.02. The Fair Economy — The Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA) announced on the 2nd that it will expand its intelligent CCTV testing and certification system from the existing six safety categories — unmanned store safety, stalking prevention, nursing hospital safety, drone fire detection, dementia patient search, and unmanned security robots — to eight categories, adding school life safety and urban rail safety.
The intelligent CCTV testing and certification system verifies how well the solution embedded in a CCTV camera detects and identifies events occurring in video footage.
Since 2023, KISA has cooperated with the Ministry of Education and Seoul Metro to operate an intelligent CCTV research team and conduct mock evaluations, so that it can respond quickly to safety accidents in schools and on urban railways, issues that have drawn growing social attention. Building on the results achieved so far, KISA is establishing and implementing new intelligent CCTV testing and certification items.
The main new additions are a performance testing and certification system capable of identifying and detecting footage related to school life safety and urban rail safety. In addition, KISA plans to provide distribution videos to applicant companies so they can trial-evaluate performance in the new categories under the intelligent CCTV certification system, and will issue certificates to products that pass the tests.
The urban rail safety category includes detailed test items such as intrusion, fare evasion, and passengers with mobility difficulties. 'Intrusion' tests whether the system accurately detects one or multiple people intruding into a specific area (when multiple people are involved, the test is based on the first person). 'Fare evasion' tests detection of passing through a ticket gate without paying the fare. 'Passengers with mobility difficulties' tests the system's ability to recognize situations involving wheelchairs or guide dogs.
In the school life safety category, the tests check whether the intelligent CCTV accurately detects loitering, intrusion, and fighting. 'Loitering' tests detection performance for one or multiple people loitering in a specific area for 6 seconds or longer (when multiple people are involved, the test is based on the first person). 'Intrusion' checks whether the system accurately detects one or multiple people intruding into a specific area (when multiple people are involved, based on the first person). 'Fighting' examines detection performance for situations in which two or more people fight — such as grabbing someone by the collar with an outstretched arm, hitting, pushing, or kicking with an outstretched leg.
KISA plans to distribute a guidebook containing detailed explanations to control centers at local governments nationwide, so that users can select products suited to various environments when introducing intelligent CCTV products. It also plans to post the guide on the Information Security Industry Promotion Portal.
Oh Jin-yeong, head of KISA's Information Protection Industry Headquarters, said, "Intelligent CCTV is increasingly being used in fields closely related to public safety and daily life. Going forward, we will strive to build institutional cooperation and activate the certification system and market so that intelligent CCTV can play a role in various areas related to people's lives."
