Local and live
Warehouses off Exit 13A and the APM Terminals docks
Elizabeth holds the other half of the Port Newark-Elizabeth Marine Terminal. APM Terminals Elizabeth, the company's largest terminal on the East Coast of North America, covers 350 acres and moves about 2.3 million containers a year, sitting less than a mile off Exit 13A of the New Jersey Turnpike, with Route 1&9 and I-78 close by. Newark Liberty International Airport's runways reach into the city's north end, and the warehouse rows through Elizabethport and along the port keep trailers moving at all hours, with the Phillips 66 Bayway Refinery just over the line in Linden.
Elizabeth recorded 835 motor vehicle thefts in 2024, according to FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data, one of the higher counts for a city its size in the state. For a yard next to the port, the bigger worry is the trailer or container nobody's watching once the gate closes for the night, not just a parked car out front.
For an Elizabeth container or trailer yard, Sigma puts a person behind the cameras at every hour, not a recorder someone reviews after a box goes missing. When the port side quiets down, AI picks out people and vehicles along the fence, an agent looks at the live feed, speaks to the intruder through the yard's speakers and calls Elizabeth police and your contacts, sending clips and a report afterwards. Yard Operations covers the loads too: damage inspections and seal checks done visually on video as containers come and go.

FAQ
Elizabeth, New Jersey monitoring questions
Can you watch a trailer yard near the APM Terminals docks overnight?
Yes. The cameras are covered live all night, on weekends and on holidays. If AI spots someone walking the trailer rows after the shift, the agent warns them off through the site's speakers and brings in police if they stay.
Can agents run the gate for carriers picking up containers in Elizabeth?
Yes, through Gate Operations. Drivers are greeted over the gate speakers, matched against the container pickup list or your rules, and let in remotely, and the log keeps the time and a picture of every visit.
How would a site in Elizabeth get cameras installed if Sigma is based in Ontario?
Being based in Ontario doesn't matter for the monitoring, which runs over the yard's internet. For the hardware, Sigma sends a technician to put up the cameras and speakers, and compatible cameras you already have can often stay. The yard supplies the power, internet and gate.
How do I get started?
Request a free site assessment or call (209) 900-5884 ext 2. A Sigma specialist reviews your layout, existing cameras and risks, then recommends the right coverage, at no cost and with no obligation. Every quote costs less than a 24/7 guard.
