Remote yard monitoring in Baytown

Local and live

Along the Ship Channel, from ExxonMobil to Cedar Bayou

Baytown sits on the Houston Ship Channel about 25 miles east of Houston. The ExxonMobil Baytown refining and petrochemical complex covers a 3,400-acre site here, processing roughly 560,500 barrels of crude oil a day, and Chevron Phillips Chemical's Cedar Bayou plant takes up about 1,400 acres of that same industrial corridor, making ethylene, polyethylene and other chemicals. The 2.6-mile Fred Hartman Bridge carries State Highway 146 across the Ship Channel, linking Baytown's industrial side directly to La Porte.

That much industry sits beside ordinary trailer yards and contractor lots, and Baytown's 2024 numbers reflect it: FBI data recorded 376 motor vehicle thefts that year, equal to about 450 for every 100,000 residents and well above both the Texas and national figures, with 326 burglaries the same year. In mid-December 2025, the Houston Auto Crimes Task Force and Baytown police found six stolen vehicles, plus parts taken from another stolen pickup truck, hidden under tarps at a suspected chop shop in the city. A fenced lot gives the same kind of cover to anyone who shouldn't be on a yard after dark.

Sigma watches Baytown yards and plant-adjacent lots with every camera live at once, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, including nights, weekends and holidays. AI person and vehicle detection flags movement along the fence line or around parked trailers, an agent checks the footage, gives a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers and brings in police and your contacts. Gate Operations checks each driver against your pickup lists before the gate opens, and Yard Operations adds trailer damage inspections and visual seal checks on video.
