Viewcone - Korea CCTV Map

Viewcone maps the public CCTV sites that Korea's Ministry of the Interior and Safety publishes as open data. Search for a station, school or neighbourhood, then tap a camera to see its purpose, managing agency and an estimated view that leaves out areas blocked by buildings. It does not show live video.

It covers crime-prevention, traffic and child-safety cameras from the national CCTV standard dataset, in Seoul, Busan and every other city and county.

WHEN IT HELPS
• Looking at the public cameras around a neighbourhood before you move to Seoul, Busan or anywhere else in Korea
• Checking whether a public camera was near the place of an accident or a lost item, and which agency manages it
• Seeing which kinds of cameras are published around your street, a school or a park

KEY FEATURES

PUBLIC CCTV MAP
• About 250,000 public CCTV sites captured in open data, across every city, county and district in Korea
• Filter by purpose: crime prevention, traffic, parking enforcement, child safety, disaster & safety, facility protection and more
• Zoom in to see each camera and its estimated view

ESTIMATED VIEWS
• Cameras with a published direction are drawn that way; unknown or rotating ones show their possible range faintly
• Areas hidden by buildings are left out
• Without published lens data, 68° and 55 m are used as reference values
• Tap a camera for its purpose, managing agency, installation date, data date and how its view was calculated

PLACE SEARCH
• Jump to a neighbourhood, road or place such as a station or school
• Results appear as you type
• Building numbers can't be searched; a query with one searches the road or neighbourhood name without it

MAP AND SEARCH WORK OFFLINE
• The map, CCTV data and place search are stored on your device
• Your GPS location is used only for the location button or sharing your current location, and leaves the device only when you share it
• What you type in search never leaves the device either
• No sign-up needed

SHARE A SPOT
• Share your location or a spot you pick as a map image and link
• The link opens the same spot in the app or on the web (cctv.devrives.com)

GOOD TO KNOW
• There is no live video, and whether a camera is recording or working can't be checked
• Only sites captured in public data are shown. The counts are not total installations or safety rankings
• Estimated views may differ from what is actually recorded
• If you need footage of yourself from an incident, you can ask the managing agency shown in the camera details
• The app shows ads
