Buying notes
Is this the right fit?
- Good fit when
- Use this when you need an additional compatible motion 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
- Check the listed compatibility and placement notes before ordering. Building layout often matters as much as the product rating.
- Setup note
- Mount the motion 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.

Very happy with product. Dakota Murs Mat driveway alarm. Great service shipped quick.
★★★★★Deborah M.May 5, 2020
This MURS sensor is a replacement for one we previously purchased. The system is excellent and was our only option on a very long driveway. I am alerted well before anyone gets near the house. We have 4 alarms- one is the magnetometer under the driveway to sense vehicles. This one is 500 ft up the driveway and senses all movement.

Answers from our team for MAT Dakota Alert Driveway Motion Sensor: Long-Range Detection.
Can this transmitter be used with other MURS radios not made by Dakota Alert?
Good morning. All MURS products are compatible with one another. Thank you, Customer Support Team 1800Doorbell

I'm looking for a transmitter that the pir will shoot 100'?
The MURS transmitter will only detect up to 80 feet, the only product that we have that would go over that would be the BBA-2500 break beam system. The two sensors can be placed up to 300 feet apart.
