Remote yard monitoring in Truro and Colchester County

Local and live

The Highway 102 and 104 junction at Onslow

Truro is known as the Hub of Nova Scotia because the CN line between Halifax and Montreal meets the Cape Breton and Central Nova Scotia Railway to Port Hawkesbury here, and just north of town at Onslow, Highway 102 from Halifax ends at Highway 104, the Trans-Canada. The Truro Business Park holds nearly 70 businesses in distribution, manufacturing, processing and warehousing, with direct rail access to several sites and Halifax Stanfield International Airport 65 km away. West of town, the Debert Business Park sits directly on Highway 104 at Exit 13, about 65 minutes from the Port of Halifax, with more than 50 businesses, major regional distribution centres and a dedicated airfield.

Within town limits, the Truro Police Service recorded 24 motor vehicle thefts in 2025, double the 12 it logged in 2023, along with 33 break-ins, according to Statistics Canada. Copper is a target in the county as well: between July 28 and August 4, 2026, thieves took lengths of telecommunications cable in Debert and Masstown, leaving the area with phone and internet outages, the RCMP reported. For a yard owner near the interchange, the exposure is trailers, machinery and stored cable sitting on an open lot after the last shift leaves.

For a distribution yard in Debert or a warehouse in the Truro Business Park, Sigma's agents keep watch live through every night, weekend and holiday. AI detection picks out people and vehicles, the agent verifies them on camera, talks them down through the site's speakers and escalates to police or fire services when needed. Gate Operations handles trucks that arrive outside office hours, checking each driver against your schedule before opening the gate remotely, and Yard Operations adds trailer damage inspections and parking reports.
