What Can BGS Security Protect in Somerville?
Downtown Density
Somerville's Main Street buildings stack apartments over storefronts with shared rear entries and alleys, and its Victorian side streets put houses a driveway apart. BGS Security covers storefront glass, rear doors and individual units with equipment that doesn't damage older interiors.
Somerville is the county seat — a walkable downtown, courthouse, hospital and train station in 2.4 square miles — and BGS Security designs for the density and the mix of homes and businesses that come with it.
-
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 Somerville — 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 Somerville?
Somerville is Somerset County's seat and its downtown — Main Street's restaurants and shops with apartments above, the courthouse and county offices, Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Somerset, and tree-lined side streets of Victorian and early-1900s homes within walking distance of the Raritan Valley Line. Add the townhomes rising around the station and the Raritan River along the southern edge, and you have close neighbors, mixed-use buildings and tenants in the same few blocks.
Somerville is 2.4 mostly flat square miles with the Raritan River along its southern edge, Route 22 on the north, the Somerville Circle on the west and Route 28 running the length of the borough as Main Street. Downtown stacks apartments above restaurants and shops, and the side streets are lined with Victorian and early-1900s homes on narrow lots; around the Raritan Valley Line station, former industrial land is becoming townhomes and apartments. Security here is about shared rear doors and alleys behind storefronts, tenants and owners in the same building, and houses close enough that a side window is hidden from the street.
BGS Security's security system installation in Somerville leans on Ajax wireless equipment for older homes and rented units, with storefront glass-break coverage, rear-door and alley cameras for Main Street businesses, water sensors where basements sit low, and 24/7 central-station monitoring with cellular backup. We also serve neighboring Raritan, Bridgewater and Hillsborough.
Locally, Somerville's alarm ordinance (Chapter 43) requires local audible alarms to shut off within 30 minutes and every building with an alarm system to carry a Fire Department-approved exterior lock box; the first three false alarms in a calendar year draw written warnings, the fourth a $25 fine and each one after that a fine of up to $500. BGS Security configures every system to those limits, coordinates the lock box, and confirms any registration step with the borough before activation.
