Remote construction and yard monitoring in Kelowna
Live agents and AI cameras watch Kelowna construction sites, industrial yards and warehouses around the clock, along the Highway 97 corridor and near Kelowna International Airport.
Local and live
Along Highway 97 and the airport's industrial lands
Kelowna's commercial and industrial activity runs along Highway 97, known locally as Harvey Avenue through the city core, which most of the city's commercial development sits on or near. North of downtown, Kelowna International Airport serves as the base for cargo carrier KF Cargo and already supports about 9,000 jobs and roughly $2 billion in annual economic output. A $22.4 million federal investment announced in 2026 will extend power, water and sewer service to 165 acres of airport land on its eastern edge for an industrial park aimed at aerospace, logistics and advanced manufacturing, a project the airport's director of operations and innovation expects to help push its output toward $3 billion a year and its employment toward 12,000 jobs.
Construction sites have become a particular target. Kelowna RCMP recorded a 55 percent jump in break-ins at construction sites and compounds between January and June of 2025, compared with the same months in 2024, even as break-ins at houses and businesses both fell and overall property offences rose 6.4 percent. For a builder or yard owner, that means tools, materials and machinery left on an active site overnight carry real risk, especially once a project is framed and valuable equipment moves in.
Whether a crew is away for a weekend or gone for the night, a Kelowna jobsite gets the same standard of coverage from Sigma. Agents watch every camera live, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and AI person and vehicle detection calls their attention to movement once work stops for the day. The agent checks it on video, gives a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers and calls police or your own contacts, with video clips and a written report to follow. Yard Operations adds parking reports and damage inspections for equipment and vehicles moving between sites.
On the record: Kelowna RCMP reported that break-ins at construction sites and compounds rose 55 percent between January and June of 2025 compared with the same months in 2024, even as break-ins at houses and businesses both fell; total property offences for the city rose 6.4 percent over the same period.

FAQ
Kelowna monitoring questions
Can you watch a construction site or industrial yard near Kelowna International Airport?
Yes. Agents stay on every camera at a Kelowna site live, through nights, weekends and holidays. Once AI person and vehicle detection flags anyone there after the crew has gone, the agent checks it on video, gives a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers and calls police and your contacts.
Can agents keep track of equipment and vehicles moving between our Kelowna sites?
Yes, with Yard Operations. Agents use the site's cameras for damage inspections and parking and yard reports, giving you a video record each time a vehicle or piece of equipment comes or goes. This works alongside the same agents' after-hours watch over the property.
Sigma is based in Acton, Ontario. How would a Kelowna jobsite get set up?
Monitoring happens remotely, so Sigma doesn't need to be local to cover the site. Technicians travel out to install the cameras and speakers, and many compatible cameras already on a property can be connected instead. Power, an internet connection and the gate itself are on the site to provide.
How do I get started?
