Remote warehouse and yard monitoring in Vancouver, BC

Local and live

From the False Creek Flats to the Burrard Inlet terminals

Vancouver keeps a working industrial district east of downtown called the False Creek Flats, bounded by Clark Drive and Main Street to the east and west and by Prior Street and Great Northern Way to the north and south. Writers covering the area have called it Vancouver's last brownfield, a patchwork of warehouses, rail lines and underused industrial parcels built up next to the old rail yards. North of there, on the south shore of Burrard Inlet, the Centerm container terminal went through a $350 million expansion finished in spring 2023 that lifted its yearly capacity from 900,000 to 1.5 million TEUs, served by both CN and CPKC rail.

Commercial break-ins have climbed sharply in one part of this district. Vancouver police recorded 30 business break-ins in Chinatown between January and June of 2026, up from eight over the same months in 2025, a 275 percent jump that police said was concentrated in Chinatown rather than spread across the rest of the surrounding police district. Chinatown sits next to the warehouses and light-industrial buildings of Strathcona and the Flats, where stock, tools and equipment left in a building overnight face a similar kind of exposure.

Sigma watches warehouses, yards and commercial buildings in this part of Vancouver the same way it watches sites anywhere else it serves. Agents keep every camera live, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and AI person and vehicle detection flags anyone moving around a property after the doors are locked. An agent checks the alert 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 after. Gate Operations adds driver checks and a logged record of trucks moving in and out of a yard.
