What Can BGS Security Protect in Essex Fells?

Estate & Carriage House Coverage

Essex Fells estates come with long private drives, carriage houses, pool houses, and dense tree cover that hides the house from the street. BGS Security designs perimeter detection and camera coverage for the whole property, not just the main residence.

From the planned 1890s estates along Fells Road to the newer custom homes on the borough's wooded lots, BGS Security designs systems for one of New Jersey's most private residential enclaves.

  • 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 Essex Fells — business security with intrusion detection, cameras and monitored alarms, set up around your opening hours and who holds access.

What makes securing an Essex Fells estate different?

Essex Fells is a 1.4-square-mile borough laid out in the 1890s as a purely residential community — about 800 custom-built houses, many on lots of several acres, with no apartment buildings, no office buildings, a single commercial structure, and no traffic lights. Properties here are large, wooded, and set well back from the road, which means security has to cover perimeters, outbuildings and long approaches rather than a front door a few feet from the sidewalk.

Essex Fells is a 1.4-square-mile borough about 500 feet up in the hills of western Essex County. It was laid out in the 1890s as a planned residential enclave, and a 1928 ordinance kept it that way — no apartments, no offices, no traffic lights. The roughly 800 homes are custom-built, many on lots of several acres, behind trees along winding roads near Grover Cleveland Park and the pond on Fells Road; the only rentals are carriage houses. Security here is a perimeter problem: long private drives, detached garages, pool houses and guest quarters, and a main house nobody can see from the street.

BGS Security's security system installation in Essex Fells starts at the driveway and works inward — entrance cameras, weather-rated coverage of the grounds, and Ajax wireless detectors in every outbuilding reporting to one panel without trenching. Everything is backed by 24/7 central-station monitoring with cellular and battery backup for tree-related outages. We also cover neighboring Caldwell, Roseland and West Orange.

Locally, ordinance 66-3 requires every resident with an alarm to file an annual registration form with the Essex Fells Police Department, naming three keyholders, with a $25 fee; exterior sirens must silence within 15 minutes. The first two false alarms in a calendar year carry no penalty, the third is $40, the fourth $75 and each after that $125. BGS Security files the registration and sets the siren timer before activation.
