Remote yard monitoring in Newark

Yards along the Port Newark-Elizabeth docks

Newark sits at the center of the busiest container port on the East Coast. The Port Newark-Elizabeth Marine Terminal stretches across more than 2,000 contiguous acres of Newark and Elizabeth waterfront, and the Port Newark Container Terminal alone covers 272 acres and moves more than 1.7 million shipping containers a year. Newark Liberty International Airport, which straddles the Newark-Elizabeth line, handled about 679,000 tons of air cargo in 2025. Trucks move that freight out along the New Jersey Turnpike and I-280, through the Ironbound's industrial streets and the warehouse rows on Doremus Avenue and Avenue P.

That volume of cargo and vehicles moving through one stretch of waterfront draws organized theft. U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Homeland Security Investigations recovered 603 stolen vehicles worth more than $36 million at the Port of New York and New Jersey in fiscal year 2026, the most CBP has ever seized at any American port in a single year, before the cars could be shipped to West Africa and the Dominican Republic. Newark's own police department logged a 19 percent drop in vehicle thefts in 2025, but a yard or lot near the docks still has to answer for every trailer and container nobody is watching overnight.

On a Newark yard, Sigma keeps a live agent on every camera at once, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, instead of footage that gets reviewed after a trailer or container goes missing. AI person and vehicle detection flags anyone near the fence line or dock doors once a shift ends, the agent checks the feed, gives a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers and brings in police, and you're left with video clips and a written report. Gate Operations checks drivers against your pickup lists before letting them onto the lot.
