Buying notes
Is this the right fit?
- Good fit when
- Use this when you need a complete setup with the sensor and receiver included, instead of trying to match separate parts.
- Look at another option when
- Look at a separate transmitter or receiver when you are only replacing one part of a system that already works.
- Range reality
- Check the listed compatibility and placement notes before ordering. Building layout often matters as much as the product rating.
- Setup note
- Place the sensor where the event happens, then place the receiver where the alert needs to be heard or seen. Test the signal before final mounting.
The DCMA-4K-PLUS is designed for shoppers who need more flexibility than a simple sound-only driveway kit. In addition to alerting inside the building, the included receiver provides a 12V DC output, which can be useful if the system also needs to trigger another compatible alert device or accessory as part of the installation.
Like other Dakota Alert long-range systems, this kit is built for larger properties, longer approaches, and business or farm layouts where the receiver may be far from the monitored point. It is a practical step up when you want a complete driveway kit but also want room to expand or integrate other outputs later.

These alarms always work when installed properly. We have been using them for 15 years and have not had many problems and then it is the battery is low.
★★★★★TimOct 14, 2020
Our mailbox is 900 feet down the driveway, through trees and over a hill. I mounted the Dakota monitor at the rear of the mailbox and when the door opens I am notified. It works great, I love it.

I had one of your units for many year until I let water get in to the battery box which was separate from the underground metal detector. This unit is motion detection and is doing very well with no false alarms. I'm happy.
★★★★★RandyJul 30, 2020
My Dakota long-range driveway monitor was relatively easy to set up. The motion sensor actually has the option for longer range than advertised which allows me to monitor a doorway on a storage facility along with the driveway. I've only been using Dakota system for 10 days and it detected all of the traffic and no false signals. My only regret is that I didn't have one sooner.
★★★★★Gary H.Jul 26, 2020
The work very good are pleased with them we know when something trips them that they have entered the yard
