Remote yard and site monitoring in Hammond
Live agents and AI cameras watch Hammond trucking yards, warehouses and industrial sites around the clock, talk down intruders live and run the gate remotely.
Local and live
Along the Borman Expressway and the Indiana Harbor Belt
Hammond sits where Interstate 90 (the Indiana Toll Road) and Interstate 80/94 (the Borman Expressway) cross, with exits at Calumet Avenue, Indianapolis Boulevard, Kennedy Avenue and Cline Avenue feeding the warehouses and truck lots along them. The Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad is headquartered in the city and keeps marshalling yards here, and part of the BP Whiting Refinery, the eighth-largest refinery in the US at 1,400 acres and more than 400,000 barrels of crude processed a day, spans into Hammond's northern edge alongside Unilever, Cargill, Atlas Tube and other large plants.
That much fuel, freight and material moving through one city is a target. On one weekend in August 2012, a man posing as a fuel delivery driver pumped 2,100 gallons of gasoline out of a gas station on Indianapolis Boulevard, and two more Hammond-area stations lost gasoline and equipment the same weekend, for close to $8,000 in combined losses. A trucking yard or fuel site left unwatched overnight faces the same kind of opportunistic theft.
A Hammond yard or fuel site gets the same coverage whether it's the middle of the night on a holiday or the middle of a Tuesday shift. AI detection and a live agent work together: the system flags anyone in view, the agent checks the camera and decides on a talk-down or an escalation, and police or fire services get a video clip with the call instead of a vague description.

FAQ
Hammond monitoring questions
Can you watch a trucking yard near Cline Avenue or the Borman Expressway?
Sigma covers yards along the Borman Expressway and the Toll Road the same way it covers any site: live agents on every camera, around the clock, 365 days a year. AI detection flags anyone who shouldn't be there as soon as they show up on camera, and an agent takes it from there with a talk-down or a call to police.
Who lets drivers in when our Hammond gate isn't staffed?
A Sigma agent does, through Gate Operations. They see the truck pull up on camera, talk to the driver over the gate speakers, check the name against your list, and release the gate remotely. The time, the image and the outcome are all logged automatically.
Sigma isn't based in Indiana. How would a Hammond site get set up?
A technician comes to Hammond for the install, whether that means putting in new cameras and speakers or connecting compatible ones your site already has. After that, the agents watching your cameras could be anywhere, because the video travels over your internet connection, not a wire to a local office. What stays on your side is the power, the internet connection and the gate itself.
How do I get started?
