Remote yard monitoring in Beaumont

Local and live

Between the Port of Beaumont and the ExxonMobil refinery

Beaumont sits on the Sabine-Neches Waterway, about 42 miles inland from the Gulf of Mexico and 84 miles east of Houston on I-10. The Port of Beaumont ranks as the fourth busiest port in the United States by cargo tonnage and is the busiest military port in the world for processing US military equipment, hosting the Army's 842d Transportation Battalion. The ExxonMobil Beaumont refinery and chemical plants cover more than 2,000 acres and are the city's largest private employer, and the Texas Comptroller counted $23 billion in trade through the port in 2024, nearly all of it mineral fuels and organic chemicals moving out.

FBI data for 2024 recorded 274 motor vehicle thefts in Beaumont, close to the national figure, but 875 burglaries, equal to about 786 for every 100,000 residents, roughly 177 percent above the Texas figure. Construction sites have felt it directly: in September 2026, Beaumont police said a pickup truck and trailer were used to steal a skid-steer loader from a job site in the 5700 block of Holiday Square, and officers used the department's camera network to recover the machine on a trailer a few miles away on S. Major Drive within hours. That trailer, police said, had itself been reported stolen out of Conroe in July.

Sigma watches a Beaumont job site or yard the same way around the clock: live agents on every camera at once, day and night, including weekends and holidays, all year round. AI person and vehicle detection flags anyone on site after the crew leaves, an agent verifies it on video, gives a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers and escalates to police and your contacts, and you get video clips and a written report. Yard Operations adds equipment and trailer checks for sites running both.
