What Can BGS Security Protect in Hightstown?

Historic Houses, Careful Installation

Much of Hightstown's housing predates 1920, and owners of houses in the Stockton Street Historic District do not want cable run through plaster or trim. BGS Security installs wireless Ajax systems that avoid cable runs through original interiors and still cover every door and window.

Hightstown is a one-square-mile borough of 19th-century houses, converted two-families and a walkable Main Street, and BGS Security's wireless equipment is built for exactly that kind of older, close-set housing.

  • 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 Hightstown — 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 Hightstown?

Hightstown is a small, self-contained borough surrounded entirely by East Windsor, with a historic core of Queen Anne, Italianate and Colonial houses around Stockton Street, the Peddie School campus on Peddie Lake, and a compact downtown where Route 33 meets Route 571 just inside Turnpike Exit 8. Narrow lots, shared driveways, original woodwork and ground-floor storefronts call for a different approach than a suburban subdivision gets.

Hightstown is a 1.2-square-mile borough wrapped entirely by East Windsor Township — a dense, walkable grid built around the Peddie School, Peddie Lake and the point where Route 33 crosses Route 571 a mile from Turnpike Exit 8. The housing is old by central New Jersey standards: Queen Anne, Italianate, Gothic Revival and Colonial houses in the Stockton Street Historic District, early-1900s houses on narrow lots along Mercer Street and Franklin Street, many converted into two-family rentals, and downtown buildings with a shop or restaurant below and apartments above. Security here means shared side yards and driveways, porches a few steps from the sidewalk, original single-pane windows, and tenants and landlords who cannot alter the building.

BGS Security's security system installation in Hightstown is built on wireless Ajax equipment for exactly that reason — door and window sensors, glass-break detection and interior motion coverage that mount without cable through plaster or trim, plus a doorbell camera facing the sidewalk and, for Main Street businesses, cameras and a panic button behind the counter. Every system reports to 24/7 central-station monitoring with cellular backup. We also serve neighboring West Windsor, Cranbury and nearby Monroe.

Locally, Hightstown's code requires every alarm system to be registered with the Hightstown Police Department before it is installed or operated — a one-time filing with a $25 fee, updated only if the details change, with a minimum $50 fine for an unregistered system. The borough also requires audible burglar alarms to shut off within 10 minutes and charges a minimum $100 fine for each false alarm after four in a calendar year. BGS Security files the registration for you and sets the siren timer, entry delays and verification so the system meets the ordinance from the day it is activated.
