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.

Driveway alarm

So far it works great. Not hard to install and very accurate. Has never missed a vehicle. I don’t think it will be too difficult to change batteries unlike the other brand we tried. Hopefully the batteries will last a long time.

So far so…

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.

Great alarm but wiring was chewed up by critters

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!

Thank you for your feedback on the Dakota Alert DCPA-4K-PLUS Driveway Alert System. We are happy to hear that you are enjoying the alarm and apologize for any inconvenience caused by the wiring being chewed by critters. Unfortunately, that is not something that we can control. We appreciate your suggestion for other customers of encapsulating the wiring in PVC pipe. We hope that the splicing and PVC pipe solution will resolve the issue for you and provide a long-term solution. Thank you for choosing our product for your home security needs.
