What Can BGS Security Protect in South Orange?
Historic Homes, Low-Impact Installs
South Orange's Victorians, Tudors and English cottages have original plaster, woodwork and leaded windows that owners do not want drilled. BGS Security's Ajax wireless equipment installs without running cable through century-old walls, which also suits the many rented homes near Seton Hall.
From the Mansard-roofed mansions of Montrose to the townhouse condos near SOPAC and the student rentals around Seton Hall, BGS Security designs systems for a village where historic homes and a busy university share the same streets.

What makes securing a home different in South Orange?
South Orange is a 2.9-square-mile village on the eastern slope of South Mountain, with Seton Hall University on South Orange Avenue, a Morris & Essex Line station at its center and more operating gas street lamps than almost any community in the country. Its housing runs from 1870s to 1900s Victorians in Montrose to 1920s houses near the Orange Lawn Tennis Club, foursquares south of the avenue and newer condominiums — much of it historic, much of it rented, and all of it in need of installation that respects original construction.
South Orange is 2.9 square miles of Essex County climbing the eastern slope of South Mountain, its western edge following South Mountain Reservation and the East Branch of the Rahway River running the length of the village. Most residential streets are still lit by gas lamps — more than 1,400 of them. Montrose holds large Victorians and Mansard-roofed mansions from 1870 to 1900; the 1920s added big houses around the Orange Lawn Tennis Club and foursquares south of South Orange Avenue; and newer townhouse condos cluster near the station and SOPAC. Seton Hall's campus brings thousands of students and a large rental market. Original plaster and leaded windows, soft gaslight after dark, and frequent tenant turnover all shape how a system should be built.
BGS Security's security system installation in South Orange relies on Ajax wireless sensors that avoid cable runs through original construction, low-light cameras and doorbell units for gas-lit streets, and separate codes for rented units, all reporting to 24/7 central-station monitoring with cellular backup. We also cover neighboring Maplewood and West Orange.
The commute is the other local factor. With Midtown Direct trains from South Orange and Mountain Station, many households leave every house on the block empty from early morning to evening, and the academic calendar empties student rentals over breaks. BGS Security sets up app alerts, scheduled arming and camera checks for those empty hours, and helps landlords confirm their units are secure between tenants.
