In the Panmunjom joint security zone, the South and the North share the video of over forty CCTVs. Originally, we have been using CCTV, which we installed to monitor each other, from the end of last year.

Kim Tae-hoon, a defense expert reporter covered the report alone.

The CCTV camera is installed on the JSA and North Korean military bases in Panmunjom Joint Security Area.

You can easily find CCTV cameras on the north side of the Panmunjak Rooftop as well as on the south side of the Military Demarcation Line.

The South and the North have confirmed that they have shared about 40 CCTV images that have been installed in the JSA since the end of last year to prepare for the situation and monitor each other.

[Robert Abrams / USFK Commander (last 23rd): North and South share about 40 CCTVs that monitor each other. We are watching CCTV images of North and South Korea.]

After negotiating with North and South Korea, we have eliminated the blind spot in JSA by adjusting the position and angle of CCTV camera, which is operated by each other, and simultaneously transmitting the image to the JSA situation room in South and North Korea.

All other monitoring equipment, such as thermal imagers, were removed.

The Ministry of National Defense explained that JSA is a measure for securing transparency, establishing trust between the two Koreas, and cooperating in an accidental situation.

9 · 19 JSA, one of the contents of the inter-Korean military agreement, must be able to work in crossroads in the other regions for soldiers in the north and south of the country.

To do this, JSA has to set up joint working rules, but the gap between the South and the North and the UNC has not yet narrowed.
