Local and live
Where refineries are becoming logistics campuses
Carson's industrial economy traces back to September 1923, when the Callender No. 1-A well came in at Dominguez Hill yielding about 1,193 barrels a day; refineries and tank farms followed and still cover a large share of the city. Carson also sits on the Alameda Corridor, the rail line that has carried 15 percent of the nation's container traffic since operations began in April 2002 and that extends through or borders Carson on its route to downtown Los Angeles. That industrial base is turning into logistics: plans for the shuttered Phillips 66 refinery call for Diamond Gateway, about 230 acres being redeveloped into six industrial buildings totalling roughly 3.7 million square feet, plus 132,000 square feet of office space, near Interstate 405 and Interstate 710.
Carson warehouses have been a target before: Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies broke up a theft ring at a Carson electronics warehouse where employees had been taking TVs, laptops and patio furniture and reselling them online, recovering more than $100,000 in merchandise and arresting four people. The same pressures that drew that ring - easily resold goods sitting in a yard with limited oversight - are still there: Verisk CargoNet counted 1,218 cargo theft incidents across California in 2025, more than any other state. For a refinery-area yard in Carson, the exposure is tank farms, trailer rows and fence lines that stretch for blocks with nobody watching them after the day shift ends.
For a refinery-adjacent trailer yard or logistics site in Carson, Sigma's agents watch every camera live, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with no one posted on site. AI person and vehicle detection points an agent to movement along the tank farms, fence lines or trailer rows, and the agent gives a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers before escalating to police and your contacts. Yard Operations adds truck and trailer damage inspections and visual seal checks on video, so a changing site like the Diamond Gateway redevelopment can add coverage as it grows.
On the record: Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies arrested four people after tracing stolen high-tech merchandise, including large-screen televisions and sealed laptops, to an electronics warehouse in Carson where employees had taken the goods and resold them online; investigators recovered more than $100,000 worth of property.

FAQ
Carson monitoring questions
Can you watch a yard near the Carson refineries or along the Alameda Corridor?
Yes. A Carson site near the refineries gets the same coverage as one on the Alameda Corridor: every camera watched live by an agent, movement after hours flagged by AI person and vehicle detection, and a live, instant talk-down given before police are called if the person doesn't leave.
Can your agents check trailers in and out of a Carson logistics yard?
Yes, through Yard Operations. Agents use your cameras for truck and trailer damage inspections and visual seal checks on video, plus parking reports, so you have a record of each unit as it comes and goes.
What does Sigma need from us to start monitoring a Carson site?
Mainly power, an internet connection and a working gate, which your site provides. Sigma's technicians travel to Carson to install the cameras and speakers, and many compatible cameras already on site can be connected instead of replaced.
