Seoul – August 10, 2023 –
Enterprise AI service provider People and Technology Co., Ltd. (Co-CEOs Hong Sung-pyo and Lim Jin-soon) announced that its Edge-Based AI Video Surveillance Device, developed in collaboration with Hanwha Vision (formerly Hanwha Techwin), has been officially certified as a Collaborative Product by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups (MSS).
This certification comes as part of MSS's Public Procurement Collaborative Support Program, which facilitates public-sector adoption of innovative products developed through partnerships between large and small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs). People and Technology, alongside Hanwha Vision, participated under the Materials and Components category. After approximately one year of development, the company integrated its proprietary AI app with Hanwha Vision’s camera modules to complete the Edge-Based AI Video Surveillance Device.
Certified Products and Future Plans
The certified lineup includes:
- 4K Housing Camera
- 4K Bullet Camera
- 2M Bullet Camera
These products are currently undergoing TTA (Telecommunications Technology Association) security and performance certification, a prerequisite for registration in the Korea Online E-Procurement System (Nara Market Mall). Once certified, the devices will enter the local government market, particularly for road surveillance and public safety applications.
Key Features of the Edge-Based AI Surveillance Device
- Real-Time Vehicle Monitoring and Detection:
- Monitors traffic on highways and roads.
- Reads license plates and analyzes vehicles within designated Regions of Interest (ROI) in real time.
- Advanced Features:
- Detects illegal parking and reverse driving.
- Measures vehicle speed without external sensors.
- Identifies traffic violations like illegal U-turns and school zone speed breaches.
- Event Reporting:
- Transmits events, along with metadata and still images (JPEG), to control centers.
- Enhanced Efficiency:
- Reduces false alarms with AI-based object detection.
- Generates detailed metadata for faster and more efficient smart searches.
- Streamlined Operation:
- Supports dual-channel streaming to minimize storage requirements.
- Offers integrated power supply (12V DC, 50mA) to connect additional sensors.
Applications and Market Expansion
A company representative highlighted the device’s potential for diverse applications:
"This device expands the functionality of conventional surveillance cameras used by local governments, particularly for traffic and public safety. It can detect reverse driving at highway entrances, illegal parking, speeding in school zones, and more. With its upcoming Nara Market Mall registration, we anticipate significant growth in the public procurement market."
A Step Forward in Collaboration
The Edge-Based AI Video Surveillance Device exemplifies successful collaboration between SMEs and larger enterprises, merging cutting-edge AI technology with established hardware solutions. The certification and public sector accessibility mark a significant milestone for People and Technology in driving innovation and expanding its footprint in the public safety market.
