Remote yard monitoring in Carteret
Live agents watch Carteret's industrial yards and trailer lots along the Turnpike's Exit 12 around the clock, talk down intruders live and keep a video record of the yard.
Local and live
Exit 12's industrial waterfront
Carteret sits about a mile from Exit 12 of the New Jersey Turnpike, inside an industrial corridor that runs more than 34 million square feet of warehouse, distribution and manufacturing space across Carteret, Linden, Rahway and Woodbridge. The borough's Arthur Kill waterfront carried chemical plants, metal processors and other industry for most of the 20th century, and Peter J. Sica Industrial Highway still threads trucks between that waterfront and the Turnpike.
Freight corridors like this one draw thieves working the warehouse lots along the way. In Middlesex borough, part of the same Middlesex County industrial belt as Carteret, a tractor-trailer carrying $355,000 worth of frozen shrimp bound for a wholesale retailer was stolen overnight from a warehouse lot on Smalley Avenue in September 2024; police said four shipping containers in the same yard were also forced open that night. A trailer sitting in a Carteret-area lot overnight faces the same exposure.
On a Carteret yard, Sigma keeps a live agent on every camera, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, instead of a recording checked after a trailer is found missing. AI person and vehicle detection flags anyone near the fence line or the trucks once the lot empties out, the agent verifies it on video, gives a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers and calls police, and video clips with a written report follow.

FAQ
Carteret monitoring questions
Can you watch an industrial yard near Exit 12 overnight?
Yes. An agent keeps watch on every camera at once, day and night, 365 days a year, nights and holidays included. The moment AI person and vehicle detection catches movement near the trucks after the lot clears out, that agent checks the footage, gives a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers and calls police if the person stays.
Can agents run the gate for carriers at a Carteret warehouse?
Gate Operations is built for that. An agent speaks to each driver over the gate speakers, confirms them against your pickup list or schedule, and opens the gate remotely once they check out. Every truck that comes through gets logged with the time and an image.
Sigma doesn't have staff in Carteret. How would our site get set up?
Staff on the ground in Carteret isn't part of how it works, since monitoring runs over your site's own internet connection. A technician still travels out to install the cameras and speakers the yard needs, and many compatible cameras already in place can often be connected instead. What the site keeps responsibility for is the power, the internet connection and the gate.
How do I get started?
