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.

Drive Over Hose DCRH-4000 Kit by Dakota Alert Features:

  • Kit includes 1 x DCHT-4000 rubber hose transmitter (9V battery included), 1 x DCR-4000 receiver, and a user guide.
  • The transmitter includes a 25′ rubber hose (installed over the hard surface).
  • The sensor/transmitter is outdoor rated and operates at -30F to 120F.
  • The wireless range (from transmitter to receiver) is up to 5,000 ft.
  • The transmitter’s power source is a 9V alkaline battery (included).
  • The receiver plugs into a standard wall outlet.
  • Operates at 433.92 MHz.
  • Manufactured by Dakota Alert
  • 1-year manufacturer’s warranty.
  • The receiver plugs into a standard wall outlet.
  • The receiver will play one of 12 melodies.
  • Expandable by adding more receivers and more receivers, up to 16.

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.

Cant live without it

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.

Awesome home alert system

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.

DCRH 4000 Dakota Alert

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.
