Business park and yard security in Richmond Hill
Sigma's live agents watch Richmond Hill business-park lots, contractors' yards and construction sites 24/7/365, from Headford to Beaver Creek, and step in while someone is still on the property.
Local and live
Four business parks along the 404
Richmond Hill's employment land is concentrated on its east side, where Highway 404 forms the city boundary, with interchanges at 16th Avenue, Major Mackenzie Drive and Elgin Mills Road. The City lists four business parks, Barker, Beaver Creek, Headford and Newkirk, that together hold more than 2,100 companies and over 37,000 workers. Headford fills the block between Major Mackenzie Drive, Leslie Street, 16th Avenue and the 404, Beaver Creek sits near Leslie Street and Highway 7, and Highway 407 also serves the city.
Work trucks are a target. In September 2026, South Simcoe Police recovered a 2016 Ford F-550 that had been reported stolen from Richmond Hill about a month earlier; it was found at an industrial site in Innisfil with its identifying marks removed, next to a stolen wheel loader and spools of aluminum wire. York police have named Richmond Hill, along with Markham and Vaughan, as a focus of targeted auto theft enforcement, and the service logged 683 motor vehicle thefts across York Region from January to June 2026, down from 1,080 in the same months of 2025. Contractors' lots with trucks, trailers and tools parked overnight carry most of that exposure.
Sigma watches Richmond Hill business-park properties from a distance. Technicians mount cameras and speakers over the lot, the loading doors and the fence, AI person and vehicle detection flags anyone who walks or drives in after closing, and the agent on shift confirms it on live video, warns the person off through the speakers and phones police if the warning is ignored. Agents work every hour of the year, so a long weekend, when a business park empties out, gets the same coverage as a Tuesday night.
On the record: A 2016 Ford F-550 reported stolen from Richmond Hill was recovered by South Simcoe Police at an industrial site in Innisfil on September 7, 2026, with its identifying marks removed. It was found with a wheel loader stolen from Milton and four large spools of aluminum conductor wire, more than $165,000 in property in all.

FAQ
Richmond Hill monitoring questions
Our building is in the Headford Business Park. Can you watch the lot and loading doors overnight?
Yes. Cameras and speakers are placed to cover the lot, the loading doors and the fence line, and live agents watch them every night of the year. When AI detection flags a person or vehicle, the agent checks the video, gives a live, instant talk-down and calls police if needed, and you get the clip and a written report.
We park work trucks and trailers in our Richmond Hill yard. Can you keep track of what's there?
Yes. Yard Operations adds parking and yard reports, plus truck and trailer damage inspections done on camera, so you have a record of what was parked and the shape it was in. After hours, anyone moving among the vehicles is flagged and dealt with live.
How is a Richmond Hill property set up for remote monitoring?
Sigma's technicians install the cameras and speakers on site, and where a property already has compatible cameras, many of them can be connected. You provide the power, the internet connection and the gate. The watching itself is done remotely, so nobody from Sigma is stationed at the property.
How do I get started?
