What Can BGS Security Protect in Closter?
Old Walls, Modern Protection
Closter's Jersey Dutch stone houses have thick masonry walls, original woodwork and additions from several eras, which makes running new wire difficult. BGS Security's wireless Ajax equipment installs without running cable through historic fabric and keeps a strong signal through stone.
Closter mixes 18th-century Jersey Dutch stone houses, mid-century streets and wooded lots climbing toward the Palisades, and BGS Security fits each system to the house rather than forcing one design on all three.
-
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 Closter — 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 Closter?
Closter is known as the Hub of the Northern Valley — a borough of about three square miles where the old Dutch farm roads of Piermont Road and Closter Dock Road meet, lined with stone houses built by the Demarest, Naugle and Westervelt families. Around them sit postwar colonials and split-levels, and on the east side larger homes on wooded lots rising toward Alpine and the top of the Palisades.
Closter sits at the center of the Northern Valley, where Piermont Road, Closter Dock Road and Schraalenburgh Road meet and the old Northern Branch rail line once brought Manhattan commuters. Its streets still carry the names of the Dutch families who farmed here — Demarest, Durie, Naugle, Westervelt — and many of their sandstone houses survive among postwar colonials, ranches and split-levels. East of the center the land climbs toward Alpine and the highest point of the Palisades, with larger homes on wooded lots near the Closter Nature Center. Each kind of house needs a different approach: stone walls that resist new wiring, mid-century homes with several ground-floor entries, and wooded lots with long, dark side yards.
Our security system installation in Closter uses Ajax wireless sensors that install without running cable through historic masonry, outdoor detectors and cameras for wooded yards and driveways, and coverage for the businesses around Closter Plaza. Every system is backed by 24/7 central-station monitoring with cellular and battery backup. We also serve neighboring Demarest, Harrington Park and Norwood.
Locally, Closter's Chapter 65 requires an annual alarm permit from the Chief of Police, renewed by January 15, and local burglar alarms must shut off automatically after five minutes. False alarms are fined from the fourth in a year. BGS Security files the permit and renewal for you and configures the system to the ordinance before activation.
