Hanwha Vision (489790) is building safety infrastructure for disabled infants and young children who are vulnerable to accidents.
Hanwha Vision announced Thursday that it is launching a new corporate social responsibility project called "Vision Zone" this month. Vision Zone is Hanwha Vision's social contribution initiative that establishes safety systems through the installation of security cameras and related equipment. The project reflects the company's philosophy of solving social problems and contributing to positive change through advanced technology.
The first Vision Zone is Chorok Namu, a residential facility for disabled infants and young children in Changwon, South Gyeongsang Province, operated by the Haegang Welfare Foundation. About 40 infants and children with intellectual disabilities, developmental disabilities and cerebral palsy live at Chorok Namu.
Earlier, Kim Hyun-sup, head of Hanwha Vision's management support office, and Cho Ae-ri, director of Chorok Namu, along with other officials, held a plaque-unveiling ceremony on the 7th to mark the start of the Vision Zone project.
Through this project, Hanwha Vision provided Chorok Namu with about 30 cameras, along with storage devices and monitors. Most residential facilities for disabled infants and young children are located on the outskirts of cities, making security systems necessary due to the possibility of unexpected situations such as residents leaving the premises or external intrusions.
The installed cameras are equipped with artificial intelligence (AI), offering analytical features such as fall detection and wandering detection, as well as "privacy masking" to protect personal information. The cameras' filming range is also limited to common areas, and indefinite maintenance support is provided.
Building on this initiative, Hanwha Vision plans to expand Vision Zone to various regions for safety-vulnerable groups. "It is meaningful that children can grow up in a safer environment through Hanwha Vision's advanced technology," a company official said. "We will continue various social contribution activities that can contribute to society."
