Industrial yard monitoring in San Diego

From Kearny Mesa's industrial park to the Port's working docks

Kearny Mesa's industrial park dates to 1955, when General Dynamics arrived and other aerospace and electronics firms followed onto the flat mesa bounded by Interstate 805, Interstate 15 and State Route 52; much of that aerospace legacy has since given way to a mix of manufacturing, distribution and defence-contractor tenants. Closer to the bay, the Port of San Diego's Tenth Avenue Marine Terminal covers 96 acres with eight working berths and about 300,000 square feet of on-dock cold storage, handling break-bulk cargo, refrigerated goods, cement and forest products for the warehouses and trucking yards that serve it.

San Diego's own numbers show property crime easing but still a real cost to businesses: the city's police department recorded 2,059 burglary/breaking-and-entering offences in 2025, down 23.3% from 2,686 the year before, alongside 4,261 motor vehicle thefts, down 21.8%. Even with that drop, the department cleared just 13% of property crimes in 2025, which means most break-ins aren't solved with an arrest; for a yard or warehouse, a locked gate alone isn't much of a deterrent once the last shift has left for the night.

AI person and vehicle detection sends an alert the moment someone shows up near the dock doors or trailer rows after hours, and the agent who receives it checks the video, gives a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers, and calls police if that doesn't resolve it. Where a site has both a gate and a yard to watch, Gate Operations has agents verify each driver against your pickup list before opening the gate remotely, and Yard Operations follows up with damage inspections and visual seal checks on video once the trailer is parked.
