Plant yard and job site security in Stratford
Stratford grew up as a railway junction, and its industrial land still sits along the CN corridor at Highway 7 and Highway 8. Sigma's live agents watch its plant yards, job sites and rural properties 24/7/365.
Local and live
Industrial land along the CN corridor at Highway 7 and 8
Stratford sits at the junction of Highway 7 and Highway 8, about 33 kilometres from Kitchener-Waterloo and 50 kilometres from London, and its industrial land is concentrated in the south and east of the city, next to the CN rail corridor and yards that trace back to the city's founding as a Grand Trunk Railway hub. Automotive-parts and metal-fabrication plants anchor the area, and Stratford Police Service also polices Perth South and the town of St. Marys under contract.
Equipment and trailers parked around those plants and the surrounding townships have been taken before. In June 2026, Stratford Police investigated the theft of a trailer and its contents, valued at more than $70,000, from a quarry property in St. Marys. A trailer or a piece of equipment left on a yard between shifts is an easy target on either side of the city line.
Sigma watches a Stratford plant yard, job site or rural property the same way, whatever side of the city line it sits on. AI person and vehicle detection flags anyone moving among parked trailers or equipment after hours, and a live agent checks the camera, gives a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers and calls police if the person doesn't leave. Yard checks add parking reports and damage inspections for trucks and trailers moving through the yard.

FAQ
Stratford monitoring questions
Our yard is near the CN rail corridor on Stratford's south side. Can you watch equipment overnight?
Yes. Live agents keep watch on each camera through the night, on weekends and on holidays. AI person and vehicle detection flags anyone among the equipment or trailers after hours, and an agent gives a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers and calls police if needed.
Can agents run the gate for carriers at a Stratford-area plant?
Yes, with Gate Operations. Carriers are seen as they arrive, spoken to through the speakers at the gate, checked against your rules and let in remotely, with every movement logged.
Does Sigma cover rural properties around Stratford and St. Marys, and how does setup work?
Yes, as long as the site has power and an internet connection, which the property provides. Sigma's technicians travel to the site to install the cameras and speakers, and many compatible cameras already there can be connected.
