Remember the days when you pulled into a gas station or through the dry-cleaners drive thru, over the rubber hose to hear the ding sound? Although the technology of rolling over a rubber hose has been around a long time, it continues to be a very reliable form of a driveway alarm. A heavy object rolling over the rubber hose triggering the sensor eliminates false alarms by things like animals, falling leaves, etc.
Couple that reliability with the power of a 5000 ft. wireless range and you have a beautiful marriage. The Dakota Alert DCRH-4000 is pneumatic (rubber hose) sensor based driveway alert system that will transmit a wireless signal up to 5000 ft. (line of sight). The kit comes with 25 feet (3/8” diameter) of rubber hose connected to a transmitter box. The transmitter is powered by 1 x 9V (not included) battery. When triggered (car rolling over hose) the transmitter sends a wireless radio signal up to 1 mile away to the included chime receiver.
The receiver will play the selected melody (12 to choose from) when triggered. You can purchase additional receivers (DCR-4000) to distribute the sound throughout the area where you want to hear the sound. The receiver features a volume selector button and may located up to 1 mile from the rubber-hose transmitter.
