What Can BGS Security Protect in Mountain Lakes?

Historic District Specialists

Hapgood houses and lakefront lots call for equipment that avoids cable runs through original fabric and covers more than the front door — boathouses, docks, rear decks on the water, and long wooded setbacks. BGS Security's wireless installs are built for exactly this district.

From the century-old Hapgood houses of the Boulevard to the lakefront homes on Mountain Lake and Birchwood Lake, BGS Security designs systems that respect a National Register historic district while covering the water, woods and outbuildings that make these properties distinctive.

  • 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 Mountain Lakes — 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 Mountain Lakes?

Mountain Lakes is a planned residential borough of just under three square miles, built from 1910 onward around seven man-made lakes and now almost entirely within a National Register historic district. Its roughly 450 surviving Hapgood stucco homes have original plaster, chestnut trim and no two identical floor plans — and many back onto water or the woods of the Tourne. Security here has to be invisible to the architecture and complete across the lot.

Mountain Lakes is a planned borough laid out by Herbert Hapgood from 1910 around seven man-made lakes — Mountain, Birchwood, Crystal, Wildwood among them — with the Boulevard curving through the center and the Tourne's wooded ridges on the western edge. Roughly 450 of his stucco Hapgood houses survive, and nearly the whole borough is a National Register historic district. That means century-old plaster, original chestnut trim and no two identical floor plans; many lots run down to the water with docks and boathouses, the rest back onto deep woods, and the exposed side of the house is the one you can't see from the street.

Our security system installation in Mountain Lakes relies on Ajax wireless sensors that avoid cable runs through historic fabric, with weather-rated cameras on docks, boathouses and water-facing decks, outdoor detection along wooded setbacks and 24/7 monitoring with cellular and battery backup for the storm outages that come with heavy tree cover. We also serve neighboring Boonton, Denville and Parsippany.

Locally, Chapter 67 of the borough code requires your alarm supplier to file owner contacts, authorized responders and system type with the Police Department within 30 days, limits audible alarms to 15 minutes and requires standby battery power; false alarms in a calendar year draw warnings for the first two, then $50, $100 and $200 as they accumulate. BGS Security files that information, configures the system to the ordinance and keeps false alarms off your record.
