Remote yard monitoring in Lancaster

Local and live

Inside the Dallas County inland port, on I-35E and I-20

Lancaster is one of five cities — along with Dallas, Hutchins, Wilmer and Ferris — inside the Dallas County inland port, a logistics zone of more than 7,500 acres where I-35E, I-20 and I-45 converge, with the planned Loop 9 outer loop set to tie those interstates together. Union Pacific's 360-acre Dallas Intermodal Terminal sits just northeast of the city, and the nearby Prime Pointe development adds about 3,000 acres of industrial and distribution sites spanning Hutchins, Lancaster and Wilmer. The city's own economic development office points to that rail and highway access, plus Lancaster Regional Airport and a 45-minute run to DFW International, as the draw for e-commerce operators that have opened distribution space here.

FBI data for 2024 puts Lancaster's burglary count at 353, equal to about 872 for every 100,000 residents and more than triple the Texas figure, with 216 motor vehicle thefts the same year, about 61 percent above the Texas figure and more than double the national one. Verisk CargoNet's 2024 Supply Chain Risk Trends Analysis separately found Dallas County, which takes in Lancaster and the inland port, among the five US counties most affected by cargo theft, led by a 78 percent jump in reported incidents. For a Lancaster yard, that adds up to loaded trailers and parked tractors sitting exposed between shifts.

Sigma's agents keep every camera on a Lancaster yard under live watch, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, including nights, weekends and holidays. AI person and vehicle detection flags movement after hours, an agent checks the live video, gives a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers and calls police and your contacts, with video clips and a written report to follow. Gate Operations lets agents check each driver against your pickup lists before opening the gate remotely, and Yard Operations adds trailer damage inspections and visual seal checks on video.
