Remote warehouse monitoring in Romulus
Live agents and AI cameras watch Romulus warehouse yards and trailer lots around the clock, close to Detroit Metro Airport, and run gates remotely for carriers picking up freight.
Local and live
Warehouses off I-275 and I-94 by Detroit Metro Airport
Romulus grew up around Detroit Metropolitan Airport, and its warehouses cluster along I-275 and I-94 within a couple of miles of the runways. One distribution building off South Huron River Drive runs 330,000 square feet with rail service and Foreign Trade Zone status, and a second multi-use warehouse on Van Born Road adds 300,000 square feet of rack and bulk storage space; both sit minutes from the airport's cargo ramps. Freight forwarders and distribution operators use yards like these to stage trailers between flights and the next leg of a shipment's trip by truck.
Yards near the airport don't go unnoticed by thieves. In neighbouring Van Buren Township, police released surveillance images after a thief was caught on camera stealing thousands of dollars of construction equipment near Ecorse Road, then drove off in a stolen pickup truck. A warehouse yard that stages trailers overnight between flights faces the same blind spot: nobody watching the fence line until the next shift clocks in.
Agents keep every camera on a Romulus yard covered around the clock, including overnight, weekends and holidays. When AI detection flags someone near a trailer or the fence line, an agent checks the video, gives a live, instant talk-down, and calls police with video evidence if the person doesn't leave. Gate Operations lets agents check drivers against your pickup lists before they collect freight, opening the gate remotely once they're cleared.

FAQ
Romulus monitoring questions
Do you cover warehouse yards near Detroit Metro Airport?
Yes. Every camera gets watched live around the clock, 365 days a year, including nights and holidays. AI person and vehicle detection flags movement around trailers or the fence line, an agent verifies it on video, gives a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers and escalates to police and your contacts.
Can agents run the gate for carriers picking up freight at a Romulus warehouse?
Yes. Gate Operations puts an agent on every arrival: they speak to the driver over the gate speakers, match them against your pickup list, and open the gate remotely once the driver checks out. Anyone not on the list is turned away and you're notified right away.
Sigma doesn't have an office near the airport. How does setup work for a Romulus warehouse?
It works the same way anywhere: monitoring runs over your site's internet connection, not a local office. A Sigma specialist reviews your yard in a free assessment, our technicians travel out to install any cameras and speakers you need, and many compatible cameras you already have can often be connected. You provide the power, internet and gate.
