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 Dakota Alert MAPS-BS-KIT is designed for long driveways, private lanes, ranch entrances, and commercial approaches where you need notice of a vehicle but do not want constant false trips from foot traffic. Instead of using a motion sensor, this system relies on a buried magnetic probe that responds to large metal objects. That makes it a strong choice when the job is to catch cars and trucks only.
This kit includes the probe, transmitter, and a desktop M538-BS receiver for indoor use. The signal path is built around MURS radio technology, which tends to perform better than many short-range consumer alerts in woods, uneven ground, and other sites where distance and terrain matter. If handheld radios work well between the road and the building, this style of alarm is often worth a hard look.
Buyers usually land on this page when they need a long-range driveway alarm, a vehicle probe driveway sensor, or a dependable alert for a farm, shop, or gate that sits far from the house. You can review more options in our driveway alarm category. Note: MURS products ship within the United States only due to radio-service restrictions.

I received my order very quickly. I reviewed the instillation instructions and they are quite clear. I have not as yet installed my product.

Great product, Great Service

This is the second system I tried. You pay a bit more, but it is worth every penny. rnrnThe installation is simple, the reliability, at least to now, very high. There is an occasional false alarm, but it has to be lightening and thundering for that to happen.rnrnI am very satisfied with the system. It also allowed me to avoid repair of a damaged built in system that would have cost thousands.rnrnRicardo.

Questions & Answers
Answers from our team for MURS-MAP-DRIVEWAY-ALERTS Driveway Alarm Detects Cars Only from Miles Away.
Can two receivers be used with one system (one for the house, one for the barn), and does the receiver need to be reset after each alert?
Great questions. 1) there is no limit to the number of receivers you can program a transmitter/sensor to. 2) It is recommended that the sensor be at least 20 feet from the gate. You may also want to consider the https://www.1800doorbell.com/dcpa-4k-plus-probe-driveway-alarm-kit.htm. The probe is similar, and the wireless range is up to 5,000 ft. The product is a little easier to program and the receiver plays 1-15 melodies to choose from. It is from the same manufacturer.
Answered for Stephanie F.
Do you have a Dakota system where the transmitter is hard-wired instead of runs on batteries AND, sends a wireless signal to a handheld Baofeng wireless handheld radio?
Good morning. Unfortunately, Dakota Alert does not make a hard wired sensor and their products are not compatible with Baofeng products. Please let us know you have any other questions. Thank you, Customer Support Team 1800Doorbell
