Local and live
From Big Bend on the Fraser to Burrard Inlet
Burnaby describes itself as the geographic centre of Metro Vancouver, and as B.C.'s third-largest city it has more than 13,000 businesses and over 148,000 jobs. The Trans-Canada Highway crosses the city, with an interchange at Gaglardi Way, while the Lougheed Highway, Hastings Street and Marine Way carry east-west traffic to neighbouring cities. In the south, Big Bend runs along the Fraser River between Boundary Road and Fenwick Street, a thinly populated mix of industrial parks, film studios, farmland and commercial areas, where an old tram right-of-way now carries freight. To the north, petroleum is refined on the shores of Burrard Inlet.
Large thefts have been climbing in Burnaby while motor vehicle thefts fell. Statistics Canada data show the Burnaby RCMP recorded 312 thefts over $5,000, not counting vehicle thefts, in 2025, up from 210 in 2023, along with 772 break-and-enters. For an industrial yard or warehouse, that exposure covers tools, materials, equipment and stock sitting behind a fence once the shift ends.
Sigma's agents can keep watch over a Burnaby site that nobody staffs after hours. Every camera is monitored live, 24/7/365; AI person and vehicle detection draws the agent's attention to movement, the agent checks it on video and talks the intruder down through the site's speakers, then calls police or your contacts and sends the footage and a written report. On a construction site, that coverage runs from the moment the crew leaves until they're back.
On the record: The Burnaby RCMP recorded 312 thefts over $5,000 (not counting motor vehicle thefts) in 2025, up from 304 in 2024 and 210 in 2023, according to Statistics Canada.

FAQ
Burnaby monitoring questions
Do you cover industrial sites in Big Bend, along Marine Way?
Yes. A site in Big Bend gets the same live coverage as any other site Sigma monitors, as long as it has power and an internet connection. Agents watch every camera through nights, weekends and holidays and respond to anything AI detection flags.
Can agents manage deliveries at our warehouse gate?
Yes. Gate Operations agents see each arrival on camera, speak to the driver through the gate speakers, check ID against your rules or delivery schedules and open the gate remotely. Each entry and exit is logged for your records.
How does a Burnaby site get set up with an Ontario-based company?
Monitoring is remote, so it doesn't depend on where Sigma is based. Technicians come to the site to install the cameras and speakers, and many compatible cameras already on the property can be connected. The site is responsible for the power, internet connection and gate, and every quote costs less than a 24/7 guard.
