Remote yard and warehouse monitoring in Chilliwack

Local and live

Along Highway 1 at Cattermole Industrial Estates

Chilliwack sits about an hour east of Metro Vancouver on Highway 1, with a US border crossing roughly 20 minutes away, and the city's business office points to those links, plus affordable industrial land, as the draw for distribution operations run here by Kal Tire, Nestle and Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers. At the city's west entrance, Cattermole Industrial Estates offers more than 100 acres of industrial development land with Highway 1 access and sites along the Fraser River waterfront. Agriculture adds its own freight to the mix: Chilliwack holds more farmland than any other Lower Mainland community, with about 67 percent of its land, 17,322 hectares, in farm use and a yearly economic impact the city puts at $685 million, led by dairy, poultry and greenhouse operations.

Property crime has pushed Chilliwack's 2025 police-reported crime to 11,352 incidents per 100,000 people, a 3 percent rise over 2024 that Statistics Canada figures show as the highest of any Canadian census metropolitan area, even though the city's crime severity index fell for a second straight year to 134.3. Vehicles are a recurring target: three pickup trucks were stolen from a Chilliwack business on November 11, 2025, and one, a red 2001 Ford F-350, was spotted the next day at a gas station in Hatzic, seen again on Cherry Avenue days later, and found abandoned after fleeing from police, with two suspects arrested. For a yard holding trucks, trailers or farm equipment overnight, that pattern puts the fence line and gate at the centre of the risk.

Sigma gives a Chilliwack yard, farm or distribution site live coverage without placing a guard there. Agents watch every camera at once, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and AI person and vehicle detection calls their attention to movement once the crew or drivers have left for the day. An agent checks the activity on live video, gives a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers, and brings in police and your own contacts, with video clips and a written report to follow. Gate Operations adds driver checks and a logged record of every vehicle that comes and goes.
