Live remote monitoring for Kitchener-Waterloo plants and yards
Kitchener and Waterloo run on manufacturing, and the trailer lots, docks and rooftops behind those plants sit unattended for long stretches. Sigma's live agents watch them 24/7 and step in as soon as someone shows up.
Local and live
Plants, parkways and business parks
Waterloo EDC counts over 1,400 automotive, aerospace and food processing companies in the region, and the City of Waterloo lists advanced manufacturing, robotics and automation among its key sectors. In Kitchener, much of that work sits in business parks such as Huron Business Park along Bleams Road. Trucks reach these plants on the Conestoga Parkway, the expressway sections of Highways 7, 8 and 85 through both cities, which ties into Highway 401 by way of Highway 8. Region of Waterloo International Airport is just east, in Breslau.
Theft here reaches the roof as well as the yard. Waterloo Regional Police say thieves got onto Kitchener rooftops twice in November 2025 to strip copper from air-conditioning and HVAC units, once at an institution on Connaught Street and once at a commercial building near Riverbend Drive and Lancaster Street West. Trucks and trailers are on the list too. In March 2026, the same service arrested six men and laid 61 charges in an ongoing investigation into truck, trailer and load thefts, carrying out search warrants in Kitchener and Hamilton.
For a plant or warehouse, that means covering more than the front gate. Sigma's agents watch whatever your cameras can see, from trailer rows to rooftop equipment. AI person and vehicle detection calls their attention to anyone on site after hours, and the agent talks the intruder down live through the site's speakers. During shifts, agents can run the gate remotely and speak with drivers as they arrive. Yard checks add damage inspections, visual seal checks on video and parking reports.
On the record: In the early morning hours of November 24, 2025, suspects got onto the roof of a business near Riverbend Drive and Lancaster Street West in Kitchener and removed copper and aluminum components from HVAC units; Waterloo Regional Police say the theft caused approximately $120,000 in damages.

FAQ
Kitchener-Waterloo monitoring questions
Can you watch rooftop HVAC units and equipment at a Kitchener building?
If a camera can see it, an agent can watch it. Sigma's technicians place cameras and speakers to cover the areas you're worried about, AI person detection flags anyone who shows up after hours, and the agent talks them down live and calls police if they stay.
Can your agents handle gate traffic for deliveries and pickups?
Yes. Agents see arrivals on camera, speak with drivers through the site's speakers and operate the gate remotely, 24/7, weekends and holidays included. You provide the gate and its hardware, plus power and internet; Sigma installs the cameras and speakers.
Is there a Sigma office in Kitchener or Waterloo?
No. Sigma is based in Acton, Ontario, and monitors sites remotely. Technicians come to your site to install the cameras and speakers, and from then on live agents watch it around the clock.
