South Korea Video Analytics Market Trends:

AI-Driven Detection of Online Exploitation Content

In May 2025, the Seoul Metropolitan Government introduced a powerful AI system that detects and reports online sexual exploitation videos within just six minutes. Previously, this process could have taken hours, but now authorities can act almost in real time. The system uses advanced multimodal large language models combined with web automation to analyze video, audio, and text content simultaneously. It can autonomously generate detailed reports and removal requests in seven languages, expanding its reach across various online platforms. Operating continuously, this AI technology improves detection accuracy and accelerates the removal of harmful content, offering stronger protection to victims. This innovative approach not only enhances public safety but also sets a new benchmark for video analytics applications in government operations. The capability to quickly identify an act on illicit content reflects the broader shifts in technology adoption. These advancements contribute significantly to driving South Korea video analytics market growth by demonstrating how AI can address complex social issues efficiently.

Expansion of Edge AI Camera Offerings

In January 2024, IDIS increased its Edge AI range of cameras to offer wider availability of state-of-the-art deep learning video analytics to commercial, public, and perimeter security markets. Its lineup of nine models bullets, domes, and turrets with the IDIS Deep Learning Engine allows accurate detection and automatic tracking of suspicious people and vehicles. The cameras are plug-and-play compliant for easy and fast installation. Some of the key features are NIR Lightmaster technology for improved night vision, real wide dynamic range (WDR) for improved image sharpness in demanding lighting, and H.265 compression to minimize storage and bandwidth. They are also designed to meet stringent security standards and feature smart failover performance to make certain that they continue to operate around the clock. ONVIF compatibility guarantees smooth integration with current security systems. The new series of cameras illustrates South Korea's continued focus on incorporating AI-based solutions into its security landscape. This development follows South Korea video analytics market trends by offering more advanced, effective, and smart monitoring solutions across various environments.

Open Government Data Boosts Video Analytics

In October 2024, South Korea’s National Information Society Agency (NIA) launched a large-scale open-data initiative to accelerate AI and video analytics development across both public and private sectors. The initiative made more than 87,000 datasets and 11,000 APIs available through the AI Hub and national Open Data Portal. These include anonymized public camera feeds, urban mobility data, and event-schedule datasets rich formats ideal for developers to build real-time video analytics applications such as crowd monitoring, license-plate recognition, and anomaly detection in transportation hubs and city centers. Strong privacy provisions were embedded using pseudonymization techniques and ethical guidelines under the Personal Information Protection Commission, ensuring compliance with privacy standards while enabling innovation. This effort empowers civic tech labs, startups, and municipal IT teams to access high-quality, government-certified data to train and test video-based models tuned to Korea’s urban environments. By standardizing and scaling data access, the program accelerates real-time decision-making in areas like transit flow and public safety
