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? The DCRH-4000 by Dakota Alert is a Rubber Hose Driveway Alarm-1 Mile Range product activated when a car drives over the rubber hose included in the kit. Although the technology of rolling over a rubber hose has been around for a long time, it continues to be a very reliable form of 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 a 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 a 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.
How the DCRH-4000 Rubber Hose Driveway Alarm Kit Works
When triggered, the receiver will play the selected melody (16 to choose from). 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 locate up to 1 mile from the rubber-hose transmitter.

The DCRH-400o is a rubber hose-activated driveway alarm kit triggered when a car or truck rolls over the included rubber hose. This pressure change in the hose activates the sensor, then transmits a radio signal up to 5,000 feet to the included receiver.
The kit includes 25 feet of rubber hose that you would stretch across a driveway or other paved surface. Connected to the rubber hose is a transmitter powered by a 9V alkaline battery (included). The rubber hose and transmitter are outdoor and weatherproof rated. When an automobile rolls over, the air pressure in the hose triggers the transmitter. It instantly transmits the radio signal to the receiver, playing a selected melody or chime sound.
Want More Hose?
At 1800doorbell.com, we sell the pneumatic rubber hose, the same size used in the DCHT-4000 transmitter sensor. As stated above, the kit comes with 25′ feet of hose, but you can extend the hose length by purchasing an additional 3/8” pneumatic driveway hose. To extend the hose, you need a 3/8” to 3/8” barb splicer to join the two hose pieces together.
Up to 16 different sensors/transmitters are compatible with each receiver, such as the DCMT-4000 PIR driveway sensor, the DCPA-4000 probe sensor that detects cars only, and the UT-4000 universal transmitter. When assigned to the DCR-4000, each transmitter will play a selected melody enabling you to distinguish between a triggered sensor.
In addition to adding transmitters/sensors, you can add an unlimited number of receivers to this kit, such as the included DCR-4000, the PR-4000 portable receiver, and the RE-4k-PLUS receiver with 12V outputs and a C-form relay. Note: the kit includes the DCR-4000 receiver. A similar kit on this website, the DCRH-4K PLUS, has the same transmitter but features the RE-4K-PLUS.

DCRH-4000 Dakota Alert Rubber Hose Driveway Alarm 5,000 ft. Range
Easy to install and works well ! I have a driveway that is 150 feet and the system wiorks great . No false positives! Well worth the money. Best driveway doorbell I’ve tried yet .
Great service, ease of ordering
Thank you
Works great
We have almost a quarter of a mile long driveway. We have used motion sensor alerts for the past few years. They have proved to be very unreliable. Bugs, birds, leaves, wind, etc., would cause the sensor to send an alert to the receiver. OR, we wouldn’t get an alert if someone was coming up the driveway. We were concerned about this hose on the gravel driveway, but so far it seems to be doing ok. We have only had if for a week, but have had enough traffic to tell this is going to be so much better than the motion alerts we had….It’s very “old school”, but works so much better for us. We bought a second receiver for the shop, so we can be alerted when we are out there. We are already feeling more secure knowing the only time the alarm goes off is when a vehicle has just crossed it.. Thanks for this wonderful system and making it very affordable as well!!!
Exactly what I needed and works perfectly
This is my third one. Over the past 10 years or so I have purchased three complete sets and one extra hose. The hose will wear out over time but this last time a wire came lose in the box, I don’t know how. We tried to go without the alarm but were always being surprised by someone and we missed it.

With a very long concrete driveway, 200ft or more, and hoping other failed alert options would work we finally said; let’s us the system businesses use for customer alerts. Bought this 1800 Doorbell and amazing! Easy install, durable, and dependable! We could not be happier! System alerts us to visitors, deliveries, and others! Other products were motion related so you can understand the multiple wildlife related false alarms/alerts.
So happy with this product!!! 5 stars
I had a driveway alarm operated by a laser. Every leaf, animal, wind set it off. Swapped it for a 1800 model . It’s great
We purchased the DCRH-4000 Dakota Alert Rubber Hose Driveway Alarm-1 Mile Range. Couldn’t be more pleased with the product. Easy to set up and really works well. We have a long driveway and never heard when someone pulled into it until now. Works like a charm. Don’t know why we went to long without this system.
put across roadway to my farm – works great – wish it were a little louder but I love the melody selections. Thank you
Works well perfect for my driveway
Works well. It will be interesting to see how long it lasts.
The only way it could be better, was if it would notify your cell phone. We love it.
The drive way alarm works super. I had a motion sensor type but I would get false alarms in the middle of the night when deer tripped the sensor. The hose across the drive does a great job . Going to get another one for my sons drive way.
Works like a charm
We bought a new home, set back from the road. We wanted a way to know when cars pulled in. The line across tge driveway makes a nice doorbell sound, at just the right volume. So far, after only a few days of use, we love it!
works fine
This works like a charm.
Love this. Glad we bought it and have passed info on to friends. Thank you for an easy set up.
I have had great luck with the rubber hose driveway alarm. I have a long driveway with lots of trees between the hose and the sensor in the house and I’ve never had problems. It also got here way sooner then planned. Thank you!
I was immediately impressed with the ease of set-up and efficiency. Gives my home an extra level of comfort and safety. Excellent sound and I love the different numbers of sound to choose from!
Excellent product, works great and easy to install.
Very effective!
Thank you
