I Need a Driveway Alert System with a Hidden Driveway Car Sensor
Introducing the DCPA-4K-PLUS Dakota Alert Driveway Alarm – a cutting-edge security solution that utilizes advanced magnetic sensor technology to detect vehicles entering or leaving your driveway. Unlike traditional motion sensors, this system relies on a buried magnetic probe that creates a detection zone parallel to your driveway. When a car or truck passes through this zone, the transmitter sends a wireless signal up to 5,000 feet to the receiver, triggering an alert.


How the Magnetic Probe Sensor Works
The heart of the DCPA-4K-PLUS is its magnetometer probe, designed to detect metallic objects within a 12-13 feet range. This probe is buried under the driveway or parallel to your driveway, creating an invisible detection zone that spans the width of your driveway. When a vehicle passes through this zone, the probe senses the change in the magnetic field, triggering the transmitter to send a wireless signal to the receiver.
The transmitter is powered by three long-lasting CR123A lithium batteries (included), ensuring reliable operation in extreme temperatures ranging from -30°F to 120°F. It transmits a signal to the included receiver, which can be placed anywhere in your home or office up to a line-of-sight distance of 5,000 feet. The number of receivers you can add to your system is unlimited.
Customizable Alerts on the RE-4K PLUS Receiver
The receiver is a versatile unit that can work with up to 16 different transmitters or sensors, each with its unique melody. This feature allows you to assign different sounds for each driveway or approach to your property, enabling you to identify which transmitter was triggered easily. The receiver plugs into a standard wall outlet and can be placed on a flat surface or mounted on the wall.
Integrate the Dakota Alert Receiver with Existing Systems
The DCPA-4K-PLUS receiver is designed to seamlessly integrate with existing security systems, guard gates, or other automation devices. It features a C-Form relay and a 12V DC output, allowing you to connect additional devices such as strobe lights, sirens, or fire alarm bells.
Easy Installation and Maintenance of the DCPA-4K-PLUS
Thanks to its straightforward design and included accessories, installing the DCPA-4K-PLUS is a breeze. The magnetic probe can be buried under or parallel to the driveway, from 3”-12” deep. It is connected to the transmitter via 50 feet of burial cable, allowing you to conceal the transmitter and mount it discreetly on a nearby post or tree. Additional cable lengths are available for purchase if needed.
Increased Awareness and Security Monitoring Your Driveway
The DCPA-4K-PLUS Dakota Alert Driveway Alarm is an excellent choice for homeowners, businesses, and farm owners seeking increased awareness and security. By providing reliable notifications when vehicles enter or leave your property, this system offers peace of mind and helps deter unwanted visitors.

Just received this and have been working on setting it up. It is just as described. We just have to find a spot that our steel fence post, electric fencer and other metal objects will stop interfering. I’m sure we will love it once we work out our particular issues.
We purchased the magnetic alarm in June and we love the alarm – However, in September, it started to malfunction. Would go off without anything going over it. Upon inspection, the wiring had been chewed by critters. We were able to splice the wiring, and then we put all the wiring in continuous PVC pipes. We expect that the fix will be the answer! I suggest that if your wiring is exposed to the elements, including wildlife, you take the extra time to encapsulate it in PVC pipe!
Solid build, well-written directions, and works as described.

Perfect for long driveways with lots of wildlife. Metal detector avoids false alarms bur alerts you to unexpected visiters and deliveries.
Easy to set up and nice selection of tones.
Received my order in a timely manner, instructions and setup very easy and works as advertised. So far, so good very pleased with this product. Thanks
Really satisfied with. It works as it should but only one thing wrong it could use a longer cord from probe to the box about 100 foot cord. So you can hide the box.
I installed this driveway alarm a few days ago and I must say that the installation went much easier than I had planned. The pairing of the transmitter to receiver was simple and seamless. High quality product, no more false alarms from animals, etc. I feel this is the best driveway alarm I have ever used and the range between transmitter and receiver is amazing.
Finally, a driveway alarm that actually works! Has been very reliable. I like the flexibility to expand the system. Great customer service!
My driveway is 3000 ft long through a forest. I put the sensor about two thousand feet from the house. I have two receivers one at the house and one at the shop. It triggers reliably every time. I have used their wired products for many years and have never had a problem. The range is incredible if I had line of sight I’m sure it would go a mile but to go a couple thousand feet through heavily wooded is amazing.
Went online to order a driveway alert unit for a friend. I already owned a Dakota system. System arrived quickly and works fine. Very pleased with system and service
Alarm Transmitter and Receivers arrived in good condition. Set-up instructions could use some work to make them clearer to use but will get the job done after a while.
Excellent driveway alarm. This one will only pick up vehicles which is a blessing when you live in the country.(no animals)
We really like this product. It picks up even small metal things.
