AI video analysis technology company Alchera (CEO Young-gyu Hwang) announced that it will participate in the '2025 Gyeonggi Fire Industry Festival' to be held on October 21st and introduce its fire early detection system 'FireScout'.
This event, hosted by the Gyeonggi Fire and Disaster Headquarters, is a firefighting and disaster safety industry exhibition. The latest firefighting equipment and disaster response technologies will be on display, and industry professionals and the general public can experience a variety of products and solutions firsthand.
During the exhibition period, Alchera plans to operate a demonstration booth focusing on real-world application cases such as early detection of indoor and outdoor fires, response to electric vehicle fires, and AI-based image analysis technology.
FireScout, an AI-based video analysis system developed by Alchera, simultaneously recognizes smoke and flames in CCTV footage, detecting fire within seconds and sending alerts. It complements the limitations of existing thermal imaging cameras and sensors, and is characterized by its ease of installation and maintenance.
This system is currently in operation in large residential complexes in Korea, including Raemian Daechi Palace in Gangnam, Seoul, and DH Laclass in Banpo, and has also been adopted by wildfire response agencies in the United States and Australia. Currently, over 30 supply contracts have been signed, primarily for apartment complexes in the Seoul metropolitan area, and the company said its application is expanding nationwide.
Fire Scout integrates with existing CCTV systems and can simultaneously monitor spaces up to 8,000 pyeong (approximately 26,000 square meters), offering high cost efficiency. It also holds KISA (Korea Internet & Security Agency) Intelligent CCTV certification, TTA GS certification, and fire detection-related patents.
An Alchera official stated, “We are proving the practical effectiveness of our technology in the initial response to fires through technology verification and field application,” and “We plan to expand the applicability of AI technology in the firefighting and disaster response fields through our participation in this exhibition.”
