Yard and warehouse monitoring in Orillia
Sigma's live agents watch Orillia warehouses, business-park yards and job sites near the Highway 11 and 12 junction around the clock, and act on an intrusion while it's happening.
Local and live
Where Highway 11 and 12 meet, by Horne Business Park
Orillia sits at the crossroads of Highway 11 and Highway 12, which share the same route for about two kilometres through the city between interchanges 131 and 133. The Ontario Ministry of Transportation is planning to rebuild the Coldwater Road and Old Barrie Road interchanges on that stretch, with construction due to start in 2027 to handle growing freight and commuter traffic. On the west side of the city, Horne Business Park added 24 acres of serviced industrial land near University Avenue, about 300 metres from Highway 11, alongside existing industrial lots that include a 22-acre Costco warehouse.
Property crime has moved in the wrong direction for the area Orillia OPP covers, which includes Orillia, Oro-Medonte, Ramara and Severn. The Couchiching OPP Detachment Board's year-end report for 2025 recorded 130 charges for theft over $5,000, up 9 percent from 119 in 2024, and 1,056 charges for theft under $5,000, up 37 percent from 769. For a business park or yard near the Highway 11/12 junction, that trend means equipment and materials left outside are worth watching even when nobody is on site.
Whether the property is a Horne Business Park warehouse or a yard off the highway, Orillia sites get watched the same way. Every camera feeds AI person and vehicle detection, and when it flags someone after hours, the agent on shift verifies it live, delivers a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers and calls OPP and your contacts if the person won't move on. Damage inspections and parking reports round out the picture for anything kept outside.
On the record: The Couchiching OPP Detachment Board's year-end report for 2025 recorded 130 charges for theft over $5,000 across the detachment area of Orillia, Oro-Medonte, Ramara and Severn, up 9 percent from 119 in 2024, while theft under $5,000 charges rose 37 percent, from 769 to 1,056 (a detachment-area figure, not Orillia alone).

FAQ
Orillia monitoring questions
Our warehouse is in Horne Business Park near Highway 11. Can you cover the yard and loading area?
Yes. Cameras and speakers are installed over the loading area, the yard and the fence, and AI detection picks up anyone there once the site is closed for the night. An agent confirms it on the live feed, gives a live, instant talk-down and calls OPP and your contacts if needed.
Can agents handle trucks arriving at our Orillia site overnight?
Yes, through Gate Operations. The agent on duty watches the truck arrive, talks with the driver through the gate speakers, checks them against your schedule or pickup list, and opens the gate remotely. Every entry and exit gets logged with a time and an image.
Sigma isn't based in Orillia. How does setup work?
Because the watching is done remotely over the internet, it doesn't matter that Sigma has no local office. Technicians still come out to put up the cameras and speakers, and compatible cameras already on an Orillia property can usually be added to the same system. The site just needs to supply power, an internet connection and the gate.
How do I get started?
