Buying notes
Is this the right fit?
- Good fit when
- Use this when you need an additional compatible sensor at a door, gate, counter, driveway, or other alert point.
- Look at another option when
- Choose a kit instead if you do not already have a compatible receiver. This transmitter sends the signal; it does not make the chime sound by itself.
- Range reality
- 1000 ft is the published open-air distance from this transmitter to a compatible receiver. Walls, metal, masonry, vehicles, shelving, and dense trees can reduce that distance.
- Setup note
- Mount the sensor where it can detect the event and where its signal can reach the receiver. Pair it to the receiver, then set the tone or zone on the receiver side.
The LRA-DSTX is a Passive Infrared (PIR) sensor-based transmitter designed to work with the LRA-DCRX Chime Receiver and the LRA-VPRX Portable Chime Receiver by Safeguard Supply. This outdoor-rated sensor will transmit a wireless signal up to 1,000 ft. to the receiver. When the combination of heat and movement is detected within the detection zone, the transmitter sends an instant alert to the receiver.
Like all Safeguard Supply products in the LRA series, this transmitter may be matched with other transmitters and receivers to fit your business or home monitoring needs.
LRA Driveway Alarm Transmitter/Sensor Features:
- Suitable for outdoor applications. The outer housing is durable and features a removable shade over the sensor window to help eliminate false alarms from direct sunlight.
- The operation temperature of 14 degrees F to 104 degrees F. (-10C to 40C).
- Mounting and installation plates and screws allow for easy installation. The transmitter mounts on a swivel joint so you can position the sensor/transmitter to optimize the detection zone for your specific requirements.
- The interior circuit board is coated to create a moisture-free environment. This ensures the outdoor sensor will last for years.
- Transmits a wireless signal at 915MHz up to 1,000 ft. (direct line of sight) away to a compatible receiver (LRA-DCRX and LRA-PRX).
- The sensor will detect motion up to 36 ft. away with a sensitivity adjustment setting to help prevent false alarms by small animals.
- The sensor's lens/window features a narrow aperture snap-on to reduce the detection distance and narrow the detection angle. This helps the sensor create a more narrow beam to detect automobiles.
- Red LED flashes when the sensor is activated, letting you know it works correctly.
- The transmitter will send a low-battery signal to the receiver alerting you when it is time to change the batteries.
- Random pairing codes prevent interference from neighboring devices.
- Powered by 4 x AA-size batteries.
- Complies with FCC, CE, RED, and RoHS standards
- 2-year manufacturer's warranty

I've used my LRA-DSTX Driveway Sensors for over 10 years. I just bought 2 replacement sensors and for the past 10 years have had no problems at all other than a tree fell on one and needed replaced so I bought 2 to have an extra for back yard security.
We are preppers, and the 1800 alarm gives us plenty of notice when someone enters our property, a secondary motion sensor tells us if someone is prowling around our property with the ability to add up too four motion sensors it gives us plenty of options to add more security.
Good product and good service.
I needed 4 new sensors and was exactly the right type and received them quickly for a great price.
Ordered another Driveway alarm sensor received it on estimated time and well packaged. I ordered this new sensor because my Driveway is almost 200 feet to the bottom the first one I installed at the bottom so as to know when someone pulled in and installed this one at the top of my driveway that way I know when someone is here in stead of someone just turning around at the bottom then I can look at my security system and see who it is works great me on a dead end road and with different tones I know exactly what is going on
I’ve been using this driveway sensor for years and it is very good and dependable.
After two years of good use I found out my dogs had knocked my safegurd reciever off the window sill one to many times. After a short call and great customer service I am happy to tell the alarm works again.
I purchased the receiver and one outdoor sensor.Set up was easy with the video available on YouTube.This sensor has quite a range on it for detecting people,vehicles,even my cat.I was so impressed with the functionality of the whole system i ordered two more sensors for the outside of my house.They are better than other ones I have used because they don't go off from something like leaves flying around.Highly effective alert system,and it makes me feel much more secure having them laced around my house since I live pretty secluded in the woods.I definitely would recommend these.
My original driveway sensor went bad, still under warranty. One call to 1800Doorbell and they had a new one sent out. Replaced the bad sensor and my driveway alarm is back up and working.
Great customer service and a great product.
Had a little rocky start with the sensor but changed the switch settings and now it's working. Wish it had a longer rest period between alarms for what I'm using it for.... but it's working so that's the Gold lining
We purchased a sensor and it was reaching where we needed it to for a good while then just stopped reaching. We changed the batteries out and tried moving it and it would work close range but still not where we had it before. I called the company and they were so kind and helpful. They offered to send us another sensor at not charge in the hopes that it would work. Unfortunately it still does not reach where we need it and that's because we placed it close enough to where it wouldn't go over the distance claimed on the item. The gate sensor is very good however just does not reach quite as far as we need it to. We will still be using this one just not where we were before. We are now using it in the front of our facility and have purchased another one for the back with a further reaching distance of 2500ft instead of the 1500ft. I am grateful to the company for all their help and will still be using their product.
