What Can BGS Security Protect in Leonia?
Older Homes, Low-Impact Installs
Many Leonia houses date to the early 1900s, with plaster walls, original trim, porches and detached garages that make wired systems invasive and leave side entries exposed. BGS Security's wireless Ajax equipment covers every entry, including outbuildings, without cutting into original finishes.
Leonia is a small, walkable borough of older houses on the western slope of the Palisades — BGS Security designs systems that respect century-old construction and cover the side doors, porches and detached garages these homes are built around.
-
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 Leonia — 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 Leonia?
Leonia climbs the western face of the Palisades from Overpeck County Park to the ridge above Fort Lee, a borough of tree-lined streets developed from 1899 onward and shaped by the artists' colony that grew around the Leonia School of Illustration. Its houses are older, close together and full of original detail, so a system has to protect them without tearing into plaster and trim.
Leonia sits on the western slope of the Palisades, dropping from about 300 feet at its eastern edge to near sea level at Overpeck County Park, with the Turnpike curving along its northern border and Grand Avenue running through the center. Most of the borough was built out after the Leonia Heights Land Company began marketing lots in 1899, and the artists' colony that followed the 1915 founding of the Leonia School of Illustration left a town of older single-family houses on close, tree-lined lots — with a few far older landmarks such as the Vreeland House of 1786. That means plaster walls and original trim, porches and side doors, and detached garages at the end of narrow driveways.
BGS Security's security system installation in Leonia relies on Ajax wireless hardware, so every entry is covered without opening walls, and the wireless range reaches detached garages and rear porches. Doorbell and driveway cameras watch the side yards that are hard to see from the street, and every system reports to 24/7 central-station monitoring with cellular backup. We also serve neighboring Fort Lee, Englewood and Teaneck.
Locally, Leonia's Chapter 76 requires an alarm system permit from the Chief of Police and registration of every system, with written warnings for the first four false alarms in a calendar year and fines from $100 after that. BGS Security handles the permit and registration for you before activation.
