Remote yard monitoring in Rockford
Live agents and AI cameras watch Rockford warehouses, trailer yards and manufacturing sites around the clock, from the I-39/I-90 interchange to the air-cargo ramp at Chicago Rockford International Airport.
Local and live
Where the tollway meets the air-cargo ramp
Rockford sits where I-39 runs concurrently with I-90, the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway, at an interchange between Rockford and Cherry Valley, with US 20 and US 51 adding more truck routes through the city. Chicago Rockford International Airport, which calls itself the 13th-largest cargo airport in the country, hosts United Parcel Service's second-largest hub in North America, operating since 1994, and has added Amazon Air flights that feed distribution centres as far away as Aurora, Joliet and Wisconsin. Amazon has also leased space in a former department-store distribution building and opened a new delivery station near Baxter Road and I-39, part of a wave of warehouse and manufacturing investment around the airport.
Rockford Police Department figures presented to the city in February 2026 showed auto theft up 22 percent in 2025, with the chief pointing to more juveniles being involved and the mayor noting that some newer vehicles are simply easier to steal. That same exposure applies to anything parked outside overnight: a trailer yard, a fenced equipment lot or a manufacturing plant's loading dock.
A live agent is on every camera at a Rockford site around the clock, 365 days a year, covering nights, weekends and holidays the same as any other time. AI person and vehicle detection flags movement around the yard or dock doors after hours, an agent checks it on live video and gives a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers, and escalates to police with video evidence when someone won't leave.
On the record: Rockford Police Department data presented to the city in February 2026 showed auto theft up 22 percent in 2025, which the department tied in part to more juveniles being involved in the thefts.

FAQ
Rockford, IL monitoring questions
Can you watch a yard near the I-39/I-90 interchange?
Yes. Agents watch every camera on your property live, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, whether you're near the tollway interchange, the airport's cargo ramp or elsewhere in Rockford. AI detection flags movement after hours, and an agent checks it on video right away.
Can agents handle gate traffic for a Rockford distribution yard?
Yes, with Gate Operations. Agents see each truck on camera as it arrives, speak to the driver through the gate speakers, check them against your pickup list or schedule, and open the gate remotely. Each truck in and out is logged with a time and a picture.
Rockford is a few hours from Sigma's base. Does distance affect the service?
No. Distance doesn't change how the service works. Your site provides the power, internet connection and gate, monitoring itself runs remotely over that connection, and Sigma's technicians travel out to install the cameras and speakers you need — many compatible cameras already on site can often be connected instead.
