DCPA-4000 Dakota Alert Drive Over Driveway Alarm: The Ultimate Solution for Rural Home Security

Unlike PIR (passive-infrared) based driveway alarm sensors, the DCPA-4000 kit by Dakota Alert is a drive over driveway alarm, meaning it has an underground driveway alarm sensor that is buried underground and detects cars or other heavy metallic objects.  This is ideal when you live in a rural area or want a driveway gate alarm, or any area for that matter, where animals may trigger your sensor.   When a car or truck passes within 10′-12′ ft. of the buried probe, the sensor transmits a wireless signal over 5,000 ft. away to the receiver.

Key Features of the Dakota Alert DCPA-4000:

  • Underground Magnetometer Probe: The DCPT-4000 transmitter is a state-of-the-art magnetometer driveway probe, discreetly buried alongside or under your driveway. It’s ideal for dirt or gravel driveways and comes with a 50-foot direct burial wire connected to an outdoor-rated transmitter box.
  • Long-Range Wireless Transmission: When a metallic object like a car or truck passes within 10-12 feet of the probe, the sensor transmits a wireless signal up to 5,000 feet to the DCR-4000 Plug-in Chime Receiver, ensuring you’re alerted no matter where you are on your property.
  • Battery-Powered for Convenience: The transmitter is powered by 3 x CR123A lithium batteries, included with domestic orders, ensuring long-lasting, maintenance-free operation.
  • Customizable Alerts: The receiver offers volume control and a choice of 16 different melodies, allowing you to personalize how you’re notified.
  • Expandable System: Compatible with the Dakota 4000 series, this system can work with up to 16 different sensors, providing comprehensive coverage for your property.
  • Durable and Reliable: With an operating temperature range of -30F to 120F and a one-year manufacturer’s warranty, the DCPA-4000 is built to last.

Why Choose the DCPA-4000?

  • Specific Detection: The system is designed to detect only large metallic objects, ensuring that people and wildlife won’t trigger false alarms.
  • Versatile Placement: The probe’s design allows for flexible installation options, either parallel to or directly under your driveway.
  • Extended Range: The 5,000 ft. line-of-sight range varies by environment but ensures reliable performance in most rural settings.

This kit features two main components; 1 x DCPT-4000 Magnetometer Probe Transmitter and 1 x DCR-4000 Plug-in Chime Receiver.   The transmitter is a magnetometer driveway probe buried in the ground parallel to your driveway or even under the driveway (if the driveway is dirt or gravel).  The probe has 50′ of wire connected to a transmitter box powered by 3 x CR123a lithium batteries (included for domestic orders, not international orders).  When a large metallic object passes through the magnetic zone (10′-12′) emitted by the probe, it triggers the transmitter to send a signal to the compatible receiver. It does not trigger until a car drives over or near the buried magnetometer probe sensor.

As stated above, the transmitter/sensor is buried underneath the driveway or parallel. If you want to use it for a driveway gate alarm, it must be buried under or directly parallel to the driveway gate. The driveway probe sensor ships with 50′ of wire that connects the buried driveway sensor to a small black box. This box is usually mounted on a post or a tree near the driveway. When a metallic object drives over the probe, the black box transmits a radio signal up to 5,000 ft. to the compatible receiver, the DCR-4000, and/or the PR-4000 portable vibrating driveway chime receiver.

The receiver in the kit is the DCR-4000 receiver.  Simply plug the receiver into a standard wall outlet and program it to the transmitter/sensor by picking one of twelve available melodies.  When triggered, the receiver will play that tune.  The receiver may be located up to 1 mile from the transmitter, line-of-site.  Environmental factors such as hilly terrain, wooded areas, and building materials will reduce the transmission range; however, with a range of up to 5,000 ft., this setup works in most scenarios.

The receiver has 12 sounds, with four-volume adjustment levels from mute to approximately 85 dB.  The transmitter and receiver are compatible with all Dakota products in the 4000 series, such as the UT-4000 and the DCMA-4000 Driveway Monitoring System.  This means you could add receivers throughout your home or office to distribute the sound, pushbuttons, and PIR-based motion sensors to your system.

The DCPA-4000 Dakota Alert Drive Over Driveway Alarm is not just a product; it’s your peace of mind in rural home security. Say goodbye to false alarms and hello to reliable, specific detection. Secure your property today with Dakota Alert’s innovative solution.
