Remote yard monitoring in Tampa
Tampa's port-side yards, warehouses and trucking terminals stay under live agent watch day and night, ready with a live, instant talk-down and a gate that opens for the trucks you're expecting.
Local and live
Port Tampa Bay and the I-4/I-275 interchange
Port Tampa Bay covers about 5,000 acres with 66 berths, and the Lee Roy Selmon Expressway runs along its northern edge before connecting to I-75 toward Brandon; the I-4-Selmon Expressway Connector, finished in 2013, gives container trucks a 1.1-mile route from I-4 straight to the port, reserved for truck traffic. I-4 itself meets I-275 at what locals call Malfunction Junction in Tampa and runs 132 miles east to the Daytona Beach area, while CSX's Uceta Yard, between downtown Tampa and Brandon, handles the city's intermodal and railcar traffic.
Trucking yards here have been a target in a different way. Hillsborough County Sheriff's detectives said a ring they named Operation Van Diesel siphoned more than 185,000 gallons of diesel, worth about $650,000, from underground tanks at gas stations across 13 Florida counties between March and August 2025, using minivans fitted with hidden 500-gallon tanks, then drove the fuel to trucking yards and resold it at a discount. Ten suspects were arrested when coordinated operations were carried out on August 5, 2025.
What let that van slip in and out unnoticed is exactly what Sigma removes from a Tampa yard: cameras with nobody watching them. Here, an agent holds a live view of every camera around the clock, all year, and AI person and vehicle detection flags anyone moving around the tractors or fuel tanks after hours. That agent checks the feed, gives a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers, and calls police, with video clips and a written report to follow. Yard Operations adds damage inspections and parking reports.

FAQ
Tampa monitoring questions
Can you watch a trucking yard near Port Tampa Bay or the Selmon Expressway?
Yes. Agents are on your cameras live, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, so a yard near the port is never left to a recording nobody checks. The instant AI person and vehicle detection flags someone near the tractors or fuel tanks, that agent gives a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers and calls police.
Can agents check drivers coming and going from our Tampa yard?
Yes. An agent watching your cameras confirms each driver against your schedule or pickup list, speaking to them through the gate speakers before deciding whether to open the gate remotely. Unexpected drivers are refused, and the comings and goings are logged automatically, time and image included.
Sigma isn't based in Tampa. How does the install work for our yard?
The monitoring side runs entirely over the internet, so Tampa being far from Sigma's base doesn't slow anything down. Installing hardware is the one in-person step, handled by a technician who sets up whatever cameras and speakers the yard lacks and connects compatible ones already in place. After that, keeping the power, internet and gate running is on the site.
