Remote yard and site monitoring in Brooks

Local and live

On the Trans-Canada and the CPKC main line

Brooks sits on the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1), about 187 kilometres southeast of Calgary and 107 kilometres from Medicine Hat. Highway 36 runs north toward the oil sands and south toward the US border, and Highway 875 gives another route south to the border and I-15. The CPKC main line between Montreal and Vancouver passes through the city, where the railway keeps a rail yard and several commercial spur lines. Energy and agriculture are the base of the local economy, alongside metal manufacturing and food processing, and Canada's second-largest beef-processing plant employs more than 2,000 people here.

Recent Brooks RCMP files show what yards lose. On May 31, 2026, a business's surveillance video recorded two people hitching a utility trailer to a truck and leaving through the north end of the yard. In July 2026, thieves siphoned about 300 to 400 litres of diesel from a semi-truck parked overnight in a hotel's designated truck parking area, and the driver told police the same thing had happened the week before.

Sigma can watch a fenced truck yard in town and a remote oilfield or irrigation site with the same live coverage, 24/7/365. AI person and vehicle detection flags anyone who comes through a gate or over a fence after hours, and an agent checks the live video, gives an instant talk-down through the site's speakers and calls police or fire when needed. Video clips and a written report follow every incident, ready to pass to the Brooks RCMP detachment.
