What Can BGS Security Protect in Chatham?

Two Chathams, One Standard

Borough homes near Main Street need equipment that respects colonial-era interiors, while Township properties along Shunpike Road and Green Village Road sit on deep, tree-lined lots with detached garages. BGS Security tailors each design to the side of town you live on.

From century-old houses off Main Street to wooded lots backing onto the Great Swamp, BGS Security designs systems for the two Chathams — Borough and Township — and the Green Village section they share.

  • Driveways, gates, and outdoor access points — outdoor detectors can alert you when someone enters a configured protection zone, before they reach the house.

  • Doors and windows — door and window sensors, with arming settings that fit your family’s routine, all reporting to 24/7 alarm monitoring.

  • Cameras — see what triggered an alert; we tell you plainly which cameras can raise an alarm in your setup, and our own technicians handle the installation.

  • Fire, carbon monoxide and water — smoke, heat and CO detectors on fire alarm monitoring alongside intrusion; leak sensors alert you, and a compatible automatic shutoff valve can help limit damage when a leak is detected.

  • Shops, offices and other business premises in Chatham — business security with intrusion detection, cameras and monitored alarms, set up around your opening hours and who holds access.

What makes securing a home different in Chatham?

Chatham is really two municipalities under one name: the compact Borough along the Passaic River and the Morristown Line, built out largely before World War II, and the larger Township of post-war neighborhoods, Hickory Tree and Green Village stretching to the Great Swamp. Protecting property here means working with original plaster and woodwork in the Borough and with wooded, outage-prone lots in the Township.

Chatham sits at the southeastern corner of Morris County, where the Passaic River marks the Borough's eastern edge and Fairmount Avenue climbs toward the Watchung ridge. The Borough is a pre-war commuter town around Main Street and the Morristown Line station — colonials and Tudors from the 1900s to 1930s, a few 18th-century houses, and tight lots with detached garages down narrow drives. Chatham Township, which shares the 07928 ZIP, spreads south through post-war neighborhoods, Hickory Tree and Green Village (07935) toward the Great Swamp, where wooded lots and long driveways are the norm.

BGS Security's security system installation in Chatham adapts to both halves: wireless Ajax sensors for older Borough interiors, and perimeter detection with cameras at the driveway and outbuildings for Township properties, backed by 24/7 central-station monitoring with cellular and battery backup for the tree-fall outages that hit the Swamp side of town. We also serve neighboring Madison, Summit and Florham Park — see our full service area coverage.

Locally, Chatham Borough requires a private alarm system permit from the Chief of Police, renewed each year by December 31, with a $25 annual fee for central-station systems. False alarms beyond five in a calendar year carry a service fee that rises from $25 to $50. Chatham Township sets its own rules, and BGS Security confirms them before activation. BGS Security confirms which rule applies to your address and files the paperwork on your behalf.
