Remote security for Hamilton truck yards and industrial sites

Hamilton moves freight by ship, plane and truck, and the yards that hold it overnight have been targeted. Sigma's live agents watch them around the clock and talk trespassers down live.

Local and live

Port, airport and parkway freight

Hamilton moves freight by water, air and road. The Port of Hamilton, part of HOPA Ports, handles cargo such as steel products, grain and fertilizer beside the Bayfront Industrial Area, approximately 3,700 acres of heavy manufacturing employing over 18,000 people. Up the escarpment, the Airport Employment Growth District spans over 555 hectares next to John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport, which Invest in Hamilton calls Canada's busiest overnight express cargo hub. Trucks tie it together on the QEW, Highway 403, the Lincoln M. Alexander Parkway and the Red Hill Valley Parkway.

Business parks fill in between. The Red Hill North and South business parks cover 1,552 acres where the Linc meets the Red Hill Valley Parkway, with life sciences, advanced manufacturing and food processing employers, and the Stoney Creek Business Park spans 1,856 acres between Grays Road and Fifty Road, south of the QEW. Trucking yards here have been targeted. In December 2025, Hamilton Police charged a Brampton man they describe as a member of an organized criminal group involved in transport truck thefts throughout Southern Ontario.

Those trucks were taken from secured facilities, so a fence on its own isn't the whole answer. Sigma puts live people behind your cameras: agents watch 24/7, AI person and vehicle detection flags movement in the yard, and the agent talks intruders down live through the site's speakers, then calls police if they don't leave. In the morning, a yard check can report which units are parked where, note new damage and record a visual seal check on video.

On the record: Hamilton Police's Project Long Haul found that between January and May 2025, an accused took part in multiple thefts and attempted thefts of Freightliner transport trucks from secured trucking facilities; the total value of the stolen vehicles exceeds $1 million.

FAQ

Hamilton monitoring questions

Can you watch a truck yard near the Hamilton airport or in the Red Hill business parks?

Yes. Sigma covers yards across Hamilton, from the Airport Employment Growth District to the Red Hill and Stoney Creek business parks and the Bayfront. Technicians install cameras and speakers on site; you provide the power, internet connection and gate.

What happens if someone tries to take a tractor at night?

AI person and vehicle detection brings the movement to a live agent, who talks the person down through the site's speakers right away and calls police if they don't leave. The video and a written report are saved for police and your records.

Can you check our trailers in the morning?

Yes. Yard checks cover damage inspections, visual seal checks on video and parking reports, so you know which units are on the lot and in what shape without sending someone out.
