Remote site and yard monitoring in Okotoks
Live agents watch contractor yards, equipment lots and construction sites in Okotoks and nearby Foothills County, 24/7/365, with AI detection and live talk-down.
Local and live
Highway 2A, Highway 7 and the Aldersyde junction
Okotoks lies about 38 kilometres south of downtown Calgary in Foothills County, and with 30,405 people at the 2021 census it is one of Alberta's largest towns. Highways 2A, 7 and 549 serve the town, and a rail line runs south toward the US border. About 8 kilometres southeast, the hamlet of Aldersyde sits between Highway 2 and Highway 2A, south of Highway 7, with the CPKC railway running through it. The Town also sells municipally serviced lots in the Okotoks Business Park.
Thieves work the roads around Okotoks at night. In March 2026, an early-morning RCMP patrol near Aldersyde found a vehicle idling without lights, with power tools and a catalytic converter inside, and two people were charged with possessing stolen property and break-and-enter tools. Larger losses travel farther: machinery and trailers taken from Okotoks and other Calgary-area communities were among about $500,000 in stolen equipment police recovered in Rocky View County in 2025.
A contractor yard or building site in Okotoks holds exactly what those thieves were caught with: power tools, skid steers, trailers and parked trucks. Sigma's agents watch each camera live, 24/7/365. When AI detection spots a person or vehicle after hours, the agent confirms it, talks the intruder down instantly through the site's speakers and calls police and your contacts, then sends video clips and a written report. Gate Operations can let subcontractors and deliveries in at set times and logs every entry and exit.
On the record: In September 2025, an RCMP crime reduction unit working with the Calgary Police Service recovered about $500,000 in stolen equipment, including skid steers, an excavator and two flat deck trailers, on a Rocky View County property. Police linked the thefts to Okotoks, Calgary, Airdrie, Chestermere and Strathmore. Source: OkotoksOnline, RCMP recover $500,000 in stolen property in Southern Alberta (September 25, 2025), 2025

FAQ
Okotoks monitoring questions
Do you cover sites in Aldersyde and the rest of Foothills County as well as Okotoks?
Yes. Monitoring is remote, so a yard in Aldersyde, a lot in the Okotoks Business Park or a job site out in Foothills County is watched live the same way, provided it has power and an internet connection. Agents are on duty 24/7/365.
Can you control the gate for deliveries at a construction site?
Yes. An agent sees each delivery or subcontractor arrive, speaks to the driver through the gate speakers, checks them against your schedule and opens the gate remotely. Anyone not expected is turned away and you're notified, and each entry and exit is logged.
Who puts in the equipment for an Okotoks site?
Sigma's technicians come to the site in Okotoks to install the cameras and speakers, and we can link many compatible cameras already in place. Our agents then monitor the site remotely. The site supplies its own power, internet connection and gate.
