What Can BGS Security Protect in Montclair?

Large Victorians, Many Entries

Montclair's hillside Victorians have wraparound porches, side and basement doors, carriage houses and deep rear yards that drop away toward the brooks. BGS Security covers every entry and outbuilding with wireless equipment that avoids cable runs through original woodwork and plaster.

From the mansions below Eagle Rock to the new apartment buildings on Bloomfield Avenue and the shops of Watchung Plaza and Walnut Street, BGS Security designs systems for every kind of Montclair block.

  • 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 Montclair — 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 Montclair?

Montclair is a 6.2-square-mile township climbing the east slope of First Watchung Mountain — 41,000 people, seven NJ Transit stations, and housing that runs from grand Victorians and Tudors on deep Upper Montclair lots to two-family houses in the South End and a wave of new multifamily buildings around Montclair Center. A house with four entries and a carriage house needs a different design than a rented floor on Orange Road, and the township's alarm ordinance applies to both.

Montclair climbs the east slope of First Watchung Mountain — 6.2 square miles of Essex County with Manhattan on the horizon from Eagle Rock, brooks running down through its parks, and seven NJ Transit stations on the Montclair-Boonton Line from Bay Street to Mountain Avenue. Its 41,000 residents live on very different blocks: deep-lot Victorians, Tudors and colonials in Upper Montclair above Watchung Avenue (ZIP 07043), tighter two-family streets in the South End around Orange Road, and new apartment buildings around Six Corners in Montclair Center. An Upper Mountain Avenue house has a porch, side, basement and kitchen door plus a carriage house; a rented floor downtown has one door and a landlord who won't allow drilling.

BGS Security's security system installation in Montclair uses Ajax wireless equipment for both — full entry mapping and outbuilding coverage on the hill, discreet apartment systems in the center — with 24/7 central-station monitoring and cellular backup on every account. We also cover neighboring Glen Ridge, Verona and Cedar Grove.

Locally, Chapter 71 requires every alarm site to be registered with the alarm administrator at the Montclair Police and Fire Department — $50 to register, $50 to renew annually — and sirens may sound no more than 10 minutes. False alarms over twelve months run free, $50, $100, then $200 each. BGS Security files the registration and the installer's notice and sets the siren timer before activation.
