Remote yard monitoring in Airdrie

Local and live

Where Highway 2 meets East Lake and East Points

Airdrie sits on the Queen Elizabeth II Highway (Highway 2) at its junction with Highway 567, carrying about 90,000 vehicles a day on the QEII corridor between Calgary and Edmonton. The city's industrial land runs across four areas: the original East Lake Industrial Park from the 1980s, three more added when Airdrie annexed roughly 12,600 acres from Rocky View County in 2012, and the East Points development, where the city bought 160 acres in 2026 for about $12.8 million, aiming to have it serviced and shovel-ready within three years. Airdrie's economic development office points to a real uptake in transportation and logistics, manufacturing and professional services, serving a regional market of close to 1.5 million people in the Calgary-Edmonton corridor.

The exposure for a yard here is what's parked on an open lot overnight once the last shift leaves. Airdrie RCMP recorded 48 motor vehicle thefts and 16 thefts over $5,000 between April and August 2026, both down from the same months of 2025 (54 and 23), while break and enters fell from 61 to 32 over the same stretch. The numbers are improving, but a trucking or equipment yard on East Lake Boulevard or in East Points still holds the kind of trailers and machinery that draw the occasional opportunist.

Sigma's agents keep every camera on an Airdrie yard under live watch, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. AI person and vehicle detection flags anyone on site after hours, an agent verifies it on live video, gives a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers and escalates to police and your contacts, then sends video clips and a written report. Gate Operations lets agents check each driver against your pickup lists before opening the gate remotely, and Yard Operations adds truck and trailer damage inspections and parking reports.
