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
- 4000 ft is the published open-air range. Real-world range is lower when the signal crosses walls, metal, masonry, vehicles, shelving, or dense trees.
- 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.

Common Uses of the Long-Range Wireless Alarm for Driveways
Use as a Long Range Driveway Sensor Alarm?
The most apparent use of the Driveway Informer Pro (ERA-DSDCR) by Safeguard Supply is as a Long Range Wireless Alarm for the Driveway. By mounting the wireless motion sensor outside and aiming the sensor across the driveway or other entrances, you will get an immediate notification when a car or person passes through the monitored zone when the sensor detects movement and heat. This helps eliminate false alarms caused by standard motion sensors and helps improve home security. The sensor (ERA-DSTX) can be placed up 4,000 ft from the receiver, typically in your home.
Use as a notification alerting device for your office.
Another common but less obvious use of this driveway alarm kit is to alert warehouse workers when delivery drivers enter your area. For example, at our offices, several commercial delivery companies drive up to our facility daily. FedEx, UPS, and the post office deliver daily. We have the driveway sensor/transmitter mounted to a tree, shooting across the parking lot area where the delivery trucks would approach. When they come and pass through the sensor’s invisible beam, the sensor detects motion and heat, triggering an instant alert in the office. That provides our warehouse manager additional time to prepare the packages, and the door is unlocked for the delivery team.
Use with Other Products in the Safeguard Supply ERA Line of Products
The sensor in this kit is the ERA-DSTX driveway sensor/transmitter, and it’s fully compatible with all other products in the ERA family.
ERA-DCRX – this is the receiver featured in this kit. Additional receivers are available to expand the notification and listening areas to other rooms of your home and office or business. There’s no limit to the number of receivers you can add. Pair up to 12 different sensors/transmitters to each DCRX receiver.
ERA-VPRX -This optional portable receiver plays a melody and vibrates when it receives a signal from a compatible ERA transmitter. The receiver ships with an installed rechargeable battery and charger, with a standby time of up to 6 days. Stick it in your pocket or sit it on your desk to ensure you never miss a delivery or alert.
ERA-UTX – The ERA “Universal Transmitter” may be used as a door/window contact or a push button. Rugged and outdoor rated, with a range from the receiver of up to 4,000 ft., this transmitter is rock-solid and reliable.
ERA-PIR– This indoor-rated PIR, passive infrared motion sensor, monitors a doorway or hallway. This product is an excellent customer service tool that is easily mounted using the included bracket. Mount over a door entrance to signal whenever a customer enters your store.

Arrived fast and easy to understand instructions mades it a breeze to set up. I live in the woods and no one comes down my debut family, usually. The reason I purchased from you is not every person on the road is family and I need lead time should something nefarious be in the works! Easy set up and a great alerta males us feel safer.
Works just like advertised!
Farm living in West Tennessee. So far so great! I installed one sensor at our home driveway (clear line of sight 550’ L and +40’ elevation). Installed another on a barn driveway (blocked by numerous oak trees and a hill 275 yards and +40’ elevation away). Both worked great. I used a radio with my wife to setup both sensors. I have another driveway that is a 1/4 mile away through heavy forest, foliage, and hills. I tested a sensor at the gate and it worked. So I ordered another sensor. Very impressive! Time will tell on durability.
We have not installed it yet.
Excellent product and superior customer service. Sales team communicated clearly with multiple emails. Nice personal touch : )
Works great
This driveway alarm works great, way better than the cheap Chinese junk I bought from Amazon. I live in a rural area and my home is several hundred feet off the highway. I like having a little notice when someone drives in - or walks in, as has happened before. I do get an occasional alert from deer/wildlife, but that's not very often and to be expected in a rural area. The outdoor sensor is probably close to 1,000 feet from the receiver and works extremely well at that distance. I definitely would recommend this unit.
Fast shipping product as described works great for my environment
I got this for a gentleman that I deliver to so he would know when a semi was in the dock. His shop is quite aways from the dock and very noisy. He loves it and will be ordering more sensors for around his building. I did end up going with the receiver that you can put in your pocket instead of the stationary one. Everything about this transaction has been A1. Thanks to Marilee who was awesome to work with. No runaround and got to deal with a real person instead of a machine.
The instructions could have been clearer for instance, playing the melodies and explaining that moving to the next zone sets the choosen melody for the previous zone. We only had one zone. We got it to work anyway.
The product arrived. The sensor is 450' from the house and works. It's the first driveway device that has ever worked. I am very pleased.
Works as it should, love it !
Easy to set up, works perfectly. I feel safer with it alerting me to visitors. Mine is not usually triggered by dogs or deer.
The ERA-DSDCR works very well. It was fairly easy to program and set up. So far there have been no false alarms. And your customer support is one of the best that I have found from any company in a long time. So glad I chose a local business like yours to buy from!
My sensor works great ! Easy to set up and install..The sensor is 900 ft from my house and absolutely works as advertised !
Great driveway alarm that was easy to set up and use. Really like it.
Q&A
Questions & Answers
Answers from our team for ERA-DSDCR 4,000 ft. Range Driveway Alarm Kit - Includes Outdoor Sensor & Indoor Receiver.
Can this be set so dogs won't trigger it, catching only things roughly 4 feet tall and above?
Good morning. You can set the sensor as high as you would need it but it will still alert any time heat and motion would pass through the PIR beam, this would mean people, animals and cars. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thank you, Customer Support Team 1800Doorbell
Answered for David G.
Does it give false readings or go off for no reason?
Good morning. The ERA-DSDCR has an outdoor rated PIR sensor that will alert the receiver whenever the detection area is crossed by heat and motion, this would include animals, people and cars. You will not receive false alerts since it would need heat and motion to send the signal to the receiver. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thank you, Customer Support Team 1800Doorbell
Answered for Mg
Is the ERA-DSDCR ready to install out of the box, or does it need wiring? I have about a 900 ft driveway.
The only step is to program the ERA-DSTX transmitter/sensor to the ERA-DCRX receiver, which takes just a few minutes.
Answered for Wayne O.
Can it be set to just pick up cars and not wildlife?
Good morning. No, the ERA-DSTX sensor is a PIR transmitter that is activated by heat and motion. If you needed a system that would detect cars only, we would recommend the DCPA-4000 or the DCRH-4000. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Answered for Customer
Does this sensor sense when people walk into your driveway? Is it weather proof?
Good morning. The ERA-DSDCR has a completely weather proof outdoor sensor that is activated by heat and motion. The sensor will pick up people, animals and cars. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thank you, Customer Support Team 1800Doorbell
Answered for Steven P.
Do both transmitter and receiver work with 9 volts alkaline battery?
Good morning. Only the outdoor transmitter operates off of a 9 volt battery, the chime receiver plugs into a standard wall outlet. The ERA series of products does have a battery operated portable receiver, the ERA-VPRX and all products in the ERA wireless 'family' are compatible with one another. Thank you, Customer Support Team 1800Doorbell
Answered for Customer
Can this unit (ERA-DSDCR 4,000 ft.) accept add on wired audible alarms?
Good morning. The ERA system is compatible with an unlimited amount of additional receivers and the compatible receivers would be the ERA-DCRX, ERA-RXPG and ERA-VPRX. The ERA-DCRX receiver also has a 12 volt output for additional accessories such as a strobe light, firebell, siren or buzzer and I have included a link for our 12 volt accessory page below. Thank you, Customer Support Team 1800Doorbell https://www.1800doorbell.com/doorbells/bells-buzzers-shop-bells-accessories/
Answered for RES
Is the alarm loud?
The loudest chime sound is around 85 dB. If you need it a lot louder, we recommend one of our premade kits like the WKD-ERA-Kit with the Siren option. It is around 115 db https://www.1800doorbell.com/wdk-era-kit.htm
