SINGAPORE – APRIL 18, 2017 – MilestoneSystems, the leading provider for open platform IP video management software
(VMS), has successfully completed a seamless 24/7 security surveillance
solution for Goyang City in South Korea. One of the 10 most dynamically
developing cities in the world, Goyang is now safer than ever, as civil safety
staff are equipped with Milestone’s integrated IP video solution to crack down
on crime-prone districts and blind spots in the city.
Goyang City, a top tourist destination with a rich 600-year
history, attracts thousands of tourist arrivals throughout the year. To ensure
a safe and pleasant experience for both citizens and tourists, the city
implemented a comprehensive, integrated overhaul of its security solutions.

implemented a comprehensive, integrated overhaul of its security solutions.
Under the previous video surveillance system, many incidents of
downtime occurred, requiring a manual reboot each time its function failed.
Staff resources were heavily overutilized, as several members had to be placed
on duty around the clock for constant monitoring, which added on to already
high maintenance costs. In order to maintain security and to more effectively
conduct 360-surveillance checks, Goyang City opted for Milestone XProtect
software to replace its old video surveillance system.

Working in partnership with Omecca, a Milestone Platinum Partner,
Goyang City implemented an integrated surveillance solution that offers
scalability, flexibility, reliability and cost-effectiveness. With over 2,500
video cameras to implement, a seamless transition without causing disruption to
daily operations was crucial. Omecca worked with Goyang to replace the old
video management software with Milestone’s enhanced XProtect solution. Within
two weeks, all video cameras were replaced with the new system, allowing each
staff member to monitor approximately 100 cameras simultaneously using the
carousel feature and comprehensive XProtect Smart Wall overview.
