Remote yard monitoring in Allentown
Live agents and AI cameras watch Allentown trailer yards, warehouses and construction sites around the clock, talk down intruders live through the site's speakers and call police with video evidence.
Local and live
Warehouses along I-78 and the airport cargo ramps
Allentown sits at the centre of the Lehigh Valley, where Interstate 78, Interstate 476, U.S. Route 22 and Route 309 come together. The valley's base of large warehouses grew from under 4 million square feet in 2000 to more than 40 million square feet by 2017, when a single wave of projects near the city added well over 5 million square feet of new warehouse space and more than 20,000 extra vehicles a day to local roads, including over 4,000 tractor-trailers. Lehigh Valley International Airport, just east of the city, set an all-time cargo record of 301,979,109 pounds in 2025, with Amazon Air and FedEx Ground among the carriers using its cargo ramps.
That much warehouse space, much of it holding trailers and loaded racking overnight, has drawn the kind of attention Verisk CargoNet has tracked statewide: Pennsylvania cargo theft activity rose 24 percent in 2025. Closer to Allentown, police in neighbouring South Whitehall Township said in September 2026 that they had recovered about $90,000 in stolen property, including tools and electronics, from a string of burglaries at a self-storage facility on Route 309 that began that June. For a trailer lot or distribution yard near the I-78 interchanges, the risk is the same: equipment and loaded trailers sitting unwatched overnight and on weekends.
Sigma's agents watch every camera on an Allentown yard at once, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, including nights and holidays. AI person and vehicle detection flags anyone moving through the yard after hours, an agent checks the video and gives a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers, and police and your own contacts are called in the order you set. With Gate Operations, the same agents see each driver arrive, speak to them through the gate speakers and open the gate remotely for pickups on your list.

FAQ
Allentown monitoring questions
Can you watch a yard near Lehigh Valley International Airport?
Yes. Whether a site sits beside the airport's cargo ramps or along the I-78 corridor, agents watch every camera live, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. AI person and vehicle detection flags movement, an agent checks it on video and gives a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers before calling police.
Can agents handle gate access for drivers coming to our Allentown yard?
Yes, with Gate Operations. Agents see each driver arrive on camera, speak to them through the gate speakers, check them against your rules, schedules or pickup lists, and open the gate remotely. Times and images are kept for each entry and exit.
Sigma doesn't have an office in Allentown. How does setup actually work?
Monitoring is remote, so an Allentown yard is covered the same way as any other site with an internet connection. Sigma's technicians travel out to install the cameras and speakers, and many compatible cameras already on site can often be connected instead. You supply the site's power, internet connection and gate.
