DCMA-4000
The DCMA-4000 is a budget-friendly long-range driveway alarm from Dakota Alert. Its outdoor DCMT-4000 sensor detects heat and motion across a zone of about 50 ft and signals the plug-in DCR-4000 chime up to 5,000 ft away in open air. Add sensors and receivers from the Dakota Alert 4000 Series as your property needs grow.
DCR-4000
DCR-4000 is a wireless receiver for compatible Dakota Alert 4000 Series transmitters. It is useful for warehouses, offices, shops, receiving areas, and larger properties where a standard residential receiver may not carry far enough or clearly enough.
UT-4000
The UT-4000 is a commercial-grade, wireless push button (or door contact) compatible with Dakota’s 4000 series of products. Pair the push button with the receiver, mount it on the door, and it will transmit a wireless signal up to 5000 ft. Use it as a door/window contact to alert you when the door is open. Please note that it IS NOT compatible with the Dakota Alert 2500 series or the ERA series by Safeguard Supply.
UTDCR-4000
You won’t find a wireless warehouse doorbell that is more reliable and easy to use than the UTDCR-4000 (LH-4000). Great for warehouses and businesses who need an extended range of products. Amazing 4000-5000 foot range from the transmitter (push button or door window contact) to the chime receiver. With the ability to expand this kit, you’ll have a wireless doorbell with multiple receivers. Never miss a customer or delivery again.
DCPA-4000
The DCPA-4000 is a vehicle-only driveway alarm that uses a buried magnetic probe instead of a motion sensor. It is built for buyers who want notice of cars and trucks without constant trips from people, pets, or wildlife.

I was concerned when I purchased because my lot is woods, and my preferred spot for the sensor is about 1000 ft from the house. However it is working perfectly and my wife loves it. It warns her every time someone drives down the driveway so she is not surprised by ups, fed ex, etc.
Shipped the day after I ordered it, arrived by UPS three days later, installed in my driveway the next day. Easy to installed, worked perfectly. It was nice to have 50' of cable to be able to place it exactly where I wanted it - center of the driveway. I ended up cutting off approximately 15' of cable and made new terminal connections, it was nice to have that option. I hid the receiver in a out of way corner in the house with no reception issues, (didn't need to be in a window). Nice product.
Works as expected, good product
I had a system with a hose running across the driveway. This system is sooo much better! Totally hidden and no worries!
So far it works very well , very pleased we installed it
You guys were great. Very helpful and professional and with a great deal of knowledge for what i was looking for. Not only did you point me in the right direction but you were looking for the most bang for my buck. That my friend, you do not get anymore. The Dakota system was everything you said it would be, easy to install and great service. My hat goes off to you and your staff, a great group and i will recommend you to everyone who is in need of your services. I too, will be back for more. Thanks again. Take care and God Bless

Yes, there is no limit to the number of receivers the sensor/transmitter can work with. The receiver is the DCR-4000.
Answered for Gino D.
Yes, both the sensor/transmitter featured in the DCPA-4000 (which is the DCPT-4000) and the DCMT-4000 you mentioned may be programmed/paired to the same receiver. The DCPA-4000 kit comes with one sensor/transmitter (DCPT-4000) and one receiver, the DCR-4000. The DCR-4000 will work with up to 16 different transmitters/sensors. If both sensors are paired to the receiver (The DCR-4000), the receiver will play the selected melody for that sensor. For example, if the DCPT-4000 is triggered, you may have the receiver (DCR-4000) play the ding-dong sound, and when the DCMT-4000 is triggered, you could have the receiver play the sound melody or a different one.

Good morning. Unfortunately, we do not have a transmitter that can hook up to 120v. All of our wireless products have battery operated transmitters. Thank you, Customer Support Team 1800Doorbell
Answered for Ryan A.
Good morning. Since the transmitter is completely weather proof, the battery life is estimated to be 12-18 months, depending on usage. Thank you, Customer Support Team 1800Doorbell
Answered for Thomas B.
Good morning. Since the DCPA-4000 detects metal, the probe would just need to be closer to the ATV's but it should still detect them. Thank you, Customer Support Team 1800Doorbell
Answered for Mark C.
Good morning. The transmitter in the DCPA-4000 kit is outdoor rated and completely weather proof. This product has a one year warranty through Dakota Alert, for any additional warranty information, please call Dakota Alert at 605-356-2772. Thank you, Customer Support Team 1800Doorbell
Answered for Deborah L.
Yes, I think this product would work well in your situation. It has "up to" a 5,000 ft. range, so that distance should be okay.
Answered for Customer
With this version (it has a different receiver) you can connect a strobe or other 12V device https://www.1800doorbell.com/dcpa-4k-plus-probe-driveway-alarm-kit.htm

Scot, Good afternoon. It is not recommended to cut the wire but to rather coil whatever is not needed. Please call Dakota Alert at 605-356-2772 for any further technical support, they may have another suggestion that might work better for you. Thank you, Customer Support Team
