Remote yard monitoring in Albany
Live agents watch Albany-area trailer yards and warehouses around the clock, from the Port of Albany to the Thruway corridor, and check trailers on video before they roll out.
Local and live
Rail, river and I-87 meet at the Port of Albany
Albany sits where the Hudson River, I-87 (the Northway, running north to the Canadian border) and I-90, the Thruway, come together, with CSX's Selkirk Yard eight miles south of the city: a 1,250-acre, 70-track hub that CSX calls its major classification yard for the entire northeastern United States, able to process more than 3,200 rail cars a day. The Port of Albany, on the river itself, handled about a quarter of a million tons of break-bulk and project cargo in 2025, including components for offshore wind turbines, from a 30-acre terminal with eight warehouses spread across a wider port district of 21 tenant buildings.
Trailers left in parking lots around the Capital Region are a recurring target. In December 2025, New York State Police asked the public for help finding a grey dump trailer stolen from a lot off Crescent Road in Clifton Park, and released images of a pickup truck seen at the scene. A trailer parked between loads, with nobody watching it overnight, is an easy target for exactly this kind of theft.
Sigma keeps an Albany-area yard watched live, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, including holidays, with AI person and vehicle detection flagging anyone near parked trailers or equipment after hours. An agent verifies the alert live, gives an instant talk-down through the speakers, and escalates to police with video evidence. Yard Operations adds trailer logs, damage inspections and visual seal checks on video for loads moving through the port area.

FAQ
Albany monitoring questions
Do you cover yards near the Port of Albany or Selkirk Yard?
Yes. Every camera on the yard is watched live, 24/7/365, including holidays. AI person and vehicle detection flags movement near parked trailers or equipment, 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 check trailers before they leave an Albany-area yard?
Yes, with Yard Operations. Agents use the yard's cameras for visual seal checks on outbound trailers, damage inspections and trailer logs, and each check is recorded on video. The checks are visual; physical seal handling stays with your team.
Sigma isn't based in New York. How does setup work for an Albany-area site?
Setup starts with a free site assessment, then Sigma's technicians travel to install the cameras and speakers your site needs; many compatible cameras you already have can often be connected too. Since monitoring happens over the internet rather than on site, the distance from Ontario isn't a factor. Keeping the power, internet connection and gate running is on the site's side.
