Remote yard monitoring in Mesquite

Local and live

Beside the Union Pacific rail yards on I-30

Mesquite holds two Union Pacific rail operations on its west side: an intermodal facility handling containers that the city's economic development office counts among the four largest UP intermodal terminals in the country, and a separate automobile facility supporting manufacturers including the assembly plant in nearby Arlington. Four freeways — I-30, I-20, I-635 and US 80 — cross the city, and newer projects such as the Mesquite Airport Logistics Center have added large distribution buildings near Mesquite Metro Airport.

FBI 2024 data shows Mesquite recorded 922 motor vehicle thefts that year, equal to about 620 for every 100,000 residents and well over double the national figure, with 583 burglaries the same year. The Mesquite Police Department reported 929 fewer crimes in 2025 than in 2024, including a 20 percent drop in property crime, but trailer yards and distribution lots near the rail lines still sit unattended overnight.

At a Mesquite site, live agents cover every camera at once, around the clock and through every holiday, instead of one screen getting a glance now and then. When AI person and vehicle detection picks up movement near parked trailers or the rail-side fence, the agent pulls up the live feed, delivers a live, instant talk-down over the site's speakers and brings in police and your contacts, then follows up with video clips and a written report. Yard Operations adds trailer damage inspections and visual seal checks on video for loads moving through the yard.
