Remote yard monitoring in Fort Erie

Local and live

The Peace Bridge, the QEW and the Fort Erie Industrial Business Park

Fort Erie sits across the Niagara River from Buffalo at the Peace Bridge, one of the busiest crossings on the Canada-US border, with more than one million trucks using it every year and a Commercial Vehicle Processing Centre the Peace Bridge Authority built on a 12-hectare site on the Canadian side. The QEW runs north from the bridge toward Toronto, and the Fort Erie Industrial Business Park, in the town's north end along Bowen Road, offers light and medium industrial land with direct QEW exposure; the Niagara Region has named advanced manufacturing, cross-border trade and transportation and warehousing as priority sectors for the site. Trucks staged for the crossing, warehouses serving cross-border freight and yards along the QEW all sit within a few minutes of each other.

Fort Erie's exposure isn't limited to the border crossing itself. In August 2025, Niagara Regional Police investigated the theft of a boat and a triple-axle trailer from a property in the Crystal Beach area, in the Erie Road and Lakewood Avenue neighbourhood; officers asked for dashcam and surveillance footage because nobody saw it happen. A property that sits unattended, whether it holds a boat trailer or a loaded one, gives a thief hours to work without being seen.

Sigma watches a Fort Erie yard or warehouse lot the same way, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Agents cover every camera live, and AI person and vehicle detection flags anyone near parked trailers, trucks or equipment after hours. The agent confirms it on camera, warns them off live through the speakers and calls police and your contacts if they don't leave. Gate Operations and Yard Operations add driver checks, truck and trailer logs and parking reports for cross-border carriers.
