Yard security monitoring in Bakersfield, California

Local and live

Where Highway 99, Highway 58 and the Grapevine route meet

Bakersfield sits near the southern end of the San Joaquin Valley. State Route 99 runs through the city from north to south, State Route 58 heads east over the Tehachapi Mountains toward Mojave and Barstow, and Interstate 5 passes several miles to the west on its way to the Tejon Pass and Los Angeles. That position has made the city a regional transportation hub, and cheaper land plus access to the ports of Los Angeles and Oakland have drawn a growing manufacturing and distribution sector.

Energy and farming fill in the rest of the map. Kern County produces more than 70 percent of California's oil and has 40,480 of the state's 53,120 active wells, according to a 2019 industry report on 2017 data, and it ranks fourth among U.S. counties by agricultural value. That means pipe yards, service-truck lots, equipment storage, packing sheds and cold storage, often on large lots at the edge of town with long fence lines.

Theft here doesn't wait for dark. In November 2025, Union Pacific special agents and the Kern County Sheriff's Office arrested two people after a cargo theft near Comanche Drive at about 10:30 in the morning. Sigma's agents watch your cameras live around the clock, with AI person and vehicle detection and live, instant talk-down through your site speakers, and they escalate to police or fire. Every quote costs less than a 24/7 guard, nights, weekends and holidays included.
