Remote yard monitoring in Port Arthur
Live agents and AI cameras watch Port Arthur truck yards, trailer lots and warehouses around the clock, along the Sabine-Neches Waterway.
Local and live
Along the Sabine-Neches Waterway, next to the refineries
Port Arthur sits on the Sabine-Neches Waterway near the Louisiana border, where the Port Arthur Refinery has run since 1903 and is now the largest oil refinery in the United States, with a capacity of about 630,000 barrels of crude oil a day under Saudi Aramco, its sole owner since 2017. Valero and a BASF/Fina petrochemical complex operate nearby, including a $1.75 billion gasification and cogeneration unit, and the Port of Port Arthur moves cargo alongside them. US Highways 69, 96 and 287 all run through the city, along with State Highways 73, 82, 87 and 347, carrying trucks between the plants, the port and the rest of Southeast Texas.
FBI data for 2024 recorded 117 motor vehicle thefts in Port Arthur, below both the Texas and national figures, but 230 burglaries, equal to about 415 for every 100,000 residents, well above the national figure. Port Arthur's population has fallen since 2000, down to 56,039 at the 2020 census, and parts of the city have seen real economic decline, which doesn't make an empty trailer yard or equipment lot any less of a target once the plants' day shifts clear out.
A Port Arthur site gets the same standard everywhere Sigma works: agents on every camera live, around the clock, 365 days a year, including nights, weekends and holidays. AI person and vehicle detection flags movement near parked trailers or along the fence line, an agent checks the footage, gives a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers and brings in police and your contacts. Yard Operations adds truck and trailer logs, damage inspections and visual seal checks on video for outbound loads.
On the record: FBI 2024 Uniform Crime Report data shows Port Arthur, Texas, recorded 230 burglaries that year, equal to about 415 for every 100,000 residents, well above the national figure, alongside 117 motor vehicle thefts. Source: HomeSnacks, Port Arthur, TX Crime Report (FBI 2024 data), 2024

FAQ
Port Arthur monitoring questions
Can you watch a yard near the refineries on the Sabine-Neches Waterway?
Yes. Agents cover every camera on the site live, around the clock, and AI person and vehicle detection flags movement near the trailers or along the fence line. The agent checks the video, gives a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers and brings in police and your contacts.
Can agents check drivers and trailers moving through a Port Arthur yard?
Yes. Gate Operations has an agent check each driver's ID against your rules, schedules or pickup lists and speak to them through the gate speakers before the gate opens remotely. Drivers who aren't expected are turned away, and every entry and exit is logged with the time and an image.
How would monitoring get set up for a site in Port Arthur?
Sigma sends technicians out to install the cameras and speakers at the property, and existing compatible cameras can usually be connected rather than replaced. Everything after that is watched remotely, with the site supplying its own power, internet connection and gate.
