Remote site monitoring in Sherwood Park and Strathcona County
Live agents and AI cameras watch contractor and equipment yards, warehouses and construction sites across Sherwood Park and Strathcona County, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Local and live
Beside Refinery Row and the Industrial Heartland
Sherwood Park is the urban centre of Strathcona County, where about 73 per cent of the county's people live. The county describes itself as Canada's largest hydrocarbon refining cluster and the central hub of Alberta's oil and gas pipeline system, and Refinery Row lies just west of the community across Anthony Henday Drive (Highway 216). Highway 16, the Yellowhead, runs along Sherwood Park's northern edge, Highway 21 along its eastern edge and Wye Road (Highway 630) along its southern side. Strathcona County is a founding member of Alberta's Industrial Heartland, which counts 582 square kilometres of investment-ready land, more than 40 operating companies, over $50 billion in existing investment and access to two Class I railways.
Property crime is on the county's policing agenda, and the wider region shows why. In February 2026, Alberta RCMP recovered more than $1 million in stolen semi tractors, trailers and machinery, plus a sea can holding $175,000 worth of industrial hosing, tied to thefts in places including Fort Saskatchewan and Edmonton, Sherwood Park's neighbours to the north and west. Équité Association data reported by the Financial Post counts 234 cargo thefts in Edmonton between 2020 and 2025. For contractors and fabricators serving the plants, the exposure is equipment, materials and trailers sitting on open laydown yards overnight.
Whether a site is busy with a project or sitting idle, Sigma's agents watch every camera live, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. AI person and vehicle detection flags movement in closed areas, and the agent verifies it, gives a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers and escalates to police, fire services and your contacts as needed. With Gate Operations, agents check contractors and drivers against your lists or schedules, open the gate remotely and log every entry and exit.
On the record: Strathcona County, which includes Sherwood Park, lists property crime among its four policing priorities for April 2026 to March 2027, together with family violence and persons crime, traffic safety and impaired driving, and drug enforcement.

FAQ
Sherwood Park monitoring questions
Can you watch a laydown or equipment yard near Refinery Row or along Highway 16?
Yes. Agents keep every camera under live watch around the clock, including nights, weekends and holidays. When AI detection flags someone in the yard, the agent checks the video, uses the site's speakers for a live, instant talk-down and escalates to police, fire services or your contacts, with video clips and a written report afterwards.
Can agents manage the gate for contractors and deliveries during a project?
Yes, with Gate Operations. Agents see each arrival on camera, talk to the driver through the gate speakers, check ID against your rules, schedules or lists and open the gate remotely. Every entry and exit is logged, which gives you a record of who was on site and when.
Sigma is based in Acton, Ontario. How does a Strathcona County site get started?
Monitoring runs remotely over your site's internet connection. Sigma's technicians come out to install the cameras and speakers, and many compatible cameras you already own can be connected instead. Power, internet and the gate are the site's responsibility.
