What Can BGS Security Protect in Mountainside?
Large-Lot Perimeter Coverage
Mountainside homes sit far back from the road on wooded acre-plus lots that border the Reservation, with detached garages, pool houses and long driveways. BGS Security designs perimeter detection and driveway cameras set up to help reduce alerts from deer and wind, so the whole property is covered, not just the house.
From the wooded streets bordering the Watchung Reservation to the homes above Echo Lake, BGS Security designs systems for Mountainside's big lots, long driveways and the outages that come with living on a forested ridge.
-
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 Mountainside — 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 Mountainside?
Mountainside is a four-square-mile borough on the slope of the Watchung ridge, with nearly a third of its land inside the Watchung Reservation and Echo Lake Park. Its houses sit on some of the largest residential lots in Union County — ranches, split-levels and colonials from the 1950s and 1960s alongside newer custom builds — set back from the road behind trees, with Route 22 running along the southern edge. Security here means covering ground you can't see from the street.
Mountainside sits on the southern slope of the Watchung ridge, with the Watchung Reservation, Lake Surprise and Echo Lake Park taking up much of its northern half. The housing is spread thin — about 2,500 homes on four square miles — on wooded lots that are often an acre or more: ranches, split-levels and colonials from the 1950s and 1960s, plus newer custom houses on the streets above Route 22 and along the Reservation edge. Long driveways, detached garages, pool houses and tree lines that hide the house from the road are the norm, and overhead lines through heavy woods mean storm outages are routine.
BGS Security's security system installation in Mountainside is a perimeter design — Ajax wireless sensors on the main house and every outbuilding without trenching cable, outdoor motion detectors and driveway cameras set up to help reduce alerts from deer and wind, and a controller on cellular with battery backup so the system keeps reporting through an outage. Everything is watched by 24/7 central-station monitoring. We also serve neighboring Westfield, Summit and Berkeley Heights, and the rest of our New Jersey service area.
Locally, Mountainside ordinance 10-2.1 requires every home and business with a centrally monitored security or fire alarm to register it with the Mountainside Police Department and renew the permit each year; an unregistered alarm that brings a response results in a municipal court summons. BGS Security completes the registration and the annual renewal for you.
