Remote yard monitoring in Grande Prairie
Live agents and AI cameras watch Grande Prairie truck yards, oilfield equipment yards and warehouses around the clock, run gates remotely and call police when something is wrong.
Local and live
Along Highway 43 and the CANAMEX corridor
Grande Prairie sits on Highway 43, part of the CANAMEX trade corridor linking Alberta to British Columbia and on toward Mexico, with the four-lane Highway 43X Bypass, completed in September 2019, routing truck traffic around the city's northwest. Highway 40 runs south toward Grande Cache and Jasper National Park. CN rail serves the city and connects at Hinton to the ports of Vancouver and Prince Rupert, and a local rail-logistics operator runs seven facilities in the city, moving roughly half a billion dollars of goods a year. The west end holds the Westgate, Vision West and Centre West industrial parks, part of an inventory the city's economic development office puts at more than 2,000 acres of industrial land and 6.1 million square feet of built space, serving a trading area of nearly 300,000 people across northwestern Alberta and northeastern British Columbia.
That freight and the oilfield service industry around it keep tractors, trailers and heavy equipment moving through yards on the edge of the city. Grande Prairie RCMP's Crime Reduction Unit arrested two men driving separately stolen trucks through the city on July 15, 2025, recovering both vehicles; one suspect was found near Clairmont Lake trying to spray-paint his before his arrest. The detachment's own monthly tallies show theft from motor vehicles climbing from 24 reported incidents in October 2024 to 43 in October 2025. For a yard off Westgate or Vision West, the exposure is trucks, trailers and equipment left parked overnight with nobody watching.
Sigma's agents watch every camera on a Grande Prairie yard at once, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. AI person and vehicle detection flags movement after the shop closes, 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. Gate Operations checks each driver against your pickup lists before the gate opens, and Yard Operations adds truck and trailer damage inspections and visual seal checks on video for loads heading back out on Highway 43 or Highway 40.

FAQ
Grande Prairie monitoring questions
Can you monitor a yard in Westgate or Vision West industrial park overnight?
Yes. Agents watch every camera on your yard live, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, including nights, weekends and holidays. AI picks up movement, an agent verifies it on live video, warns the person off through the speakers and escalates to police and your contacts.
Can agents check drivers picking up loads at our Grande Prairie yard?
Yes, with Gate Operations. An agent watches each truck roll up, talks to the driver over the gate speakers, checks ID against your rules or pickup lists and opens the gate remotely. Every entry and exit is logged, and drivers who aren't on your list are refused.
How does Sigma get a Grande Prairie yard set up?
Monitoring itself is remote and works anywhere with an internet connection. A Sigma technician installs the cameras and speakers at the property, and compatible cameras you already own can usually be connected too. The property's own power, internet and gate are used.
