Remote yard monitoring in West Sacramento

Local and live

Port, river and rail yards west of Sacramento

West Sacramento sits where Interstate 80 and Interstate 5 run side by side along the Sacramento River, with Business 80 and US 50 splitting off toward downtown Sacramento across the Tower Bridge. The Port of West Sacramento's North Terminal, at 2895 Industrial Boulevard, hosts cement and fertilizer terminals that a marine terminal operator has run under lease since 2013, and the port still holds more than 600 acres of vacant, developable land along the Deep Water Ship Channel. Sierra Northern Railway interchanges with Union Pacific in the city and serves the port as a rail-to-truck transfer point, while its Yolo Shortline line runs 16 miles north to Woodland. Truck yards, trailer lots and warehouses cluster along Jefferson Boulevard and the Southport industrial area, minutes from all of this rail, river and highway traffic.

Police records point to theft as the city's most common property crime: West Sacramento logged 627 thefts, 162 burglaries and 166 vehicle thefts in the most recent year reported, with property crime up 13 percent from the year before, per FBI Uniform Crime Report figures compiled by City-Data.com. In May 2024, West Sacramento officers recovered two freshly cut catalytic converters and burglary tools from a car in a grocery store parking lot after a short foot chase. A truck yard, trailer lot or warehouse left dark and unwatched overnight offers the same kind of easy opportunity, whether the target is a load, a vehicle, or the metal inside it.

For a West Sacramento yard near the port, the rail line or the Southport warehouses, Sigma's live agents watch every camera through the night and on weekends and holidays, the hours when a port-adjacent lot is emptiest. AI detection flags a person or vehicle on camera, an agent checks the live video and gives a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers, and anything that needs more escalates to police or fire with a video clip and a written report. For gated sites, agents see each truck arrive, check the driver against the client's list or schedule, open the gate remotely and log the entry; for yards, agents can inspect trailers for damage, check seals visually on video and file parking and yard reports. Sigma connects to many cameras a West Sacramento site already has, and a free assessment covers whatever else the yard needs, with the client providing the power, internet connection and gate.
