Dairy and yard monitoring in Tulare, California
Milk tankers, trucking yards and farm equipment line up along Highway 99 in Tulare, and Sigma keeps a live agent on every camera watching them, ready with a live, instant talk-down and a call to the sheriff if someone won't leave.
Local and live
Highway 99, the dairy belt and the World Ag Expo grounds
State Route 99 runs through Tulare as the main north-south freeway, with State Routes 63 and 137 feeding local traffic and the Union Pacific Railroad's main line running through the city. Tulare County's herd of 342,600 dairy cows produces more than 8.9 billion pounds of milk a year, much of it processed at plants in and around Tulare, including Land O'Lakes' complex there, described as the nation's largest single-site dairy complex. Just south of the city on Highway 99, the International Agri-Center hosts the World Ag Expo each February, drawing more than 100,000 visitors and over 1,200 exhibitors to 2.6 million square feet of exhibit space.
That concentration of milk trucks, feed trailers and heavy equipment has its own history of theft. In March 2024, Tulare County sheriff's detectives traced a backhoe stolen near Delano to a truck stop in Tulare, where they found it loaded into a semi-trailer alongside a second backhoe and an excavator taken from Kings County. The two drivers arrested there led investigators into the cross-border theft ring later called Operation Tractor Pull. A Tulare dairy or equipment yard risks tankers and tractors parked overnight, plus loads staged at a truck stop or dock where nobody's watching.
A Tulare dairy complex or trucking yard gets the same remote coverage as any Sigma site, with live agents holding every camera, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. AI person and vehicle detection flags anyone moving near parked trailers or machinery after the last shift, and the agent reviews the footage before giving a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers; the sheriff is called next if the person stays. Milk haulers and delivery drivers go through Gate Operations before reaching the dock, matched against your schedule before an agent releases the gate, and Yard Operations follows up with damage inspections and seal checks recorded on video.

FAQ
Tulare monitoring questions
Can you monitor a yard near the World Ag Expo grounds on Laspina Street?
Yes. Agents watch every camera on the property live, and AI person and vehicle detection flags movement near trailers, tankers or equipment after hours. The agent verifies it on video, gives a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers and calls the sheriff or police.
Can agents check in milk haulers arriving before sunrise?
Yes, with Gate Operations. An agent sees the truck on camera, speaks to the driver through the gate speakers, checks them against your schedule or pickup list and opens the gate remotely. The log keeps a time and image for every movement through the gate.
Our dairy site already has cameras. Does Sigma replace them?
Not usually. Sigma can connect many compatible cameras a site already runs, adding new ones and speakers wherever there's a gap. Sigma's technicians handle that installation, and the site keeps its own power, internet connection and gate.
