Buying notes
The SDCRH-4000 Dakota Alert Smart Rubber Hose Driveway Alarm lets you know every time a vehicle rolls into your driveway, both with a chime inside your home and with an instant alert on your smartphone. It pairs the proven DCHT-4000 rubber hose transmitter with the SR-4000 Smart Receiver, which connects to your Wi-Fi and sends a notification through the free Dakota Alert app. Whether you are in the kitchen, out in the barn, or miles from home, you will know when someone pulls in.
Motion-sensor driveway alarms react to anything that moves through their field of view: deer, dogs, a neighbor walking by, or branches blowing in the wind. The rubber hose works differently. It lies across your driveway, and when a car or truck tire rolls over it, the weight of the vehicle compresses the hose and pushes a pulse of air to the transmitter. That pressure signal is what triggers the alert. Because it responds to the weight of a vehicle rather than open-air movement, animals and people moving near the driveway won't set it off, and you are not chasing false alarms all day.
Installation is about as simple as a driveway alarm gets. Stretch the 25-foot, 3/8" diameter rubber hose across your driveway, connect it to the weatherproof transmitter box, and mount the transmitter on a nearby post, fence, or tree. There is no trenching, no burying, and no wiring back to the house. The transmitter runs on a single 9-volt battery (not included) that typically lasts a year or more, and it works day or night without needing sunlight to charge.
If you would rather have a sensor that is completely hidden underground, compare the SDCPA-4000 Smart Probe driveway alarm, which uses a buried magnetic probe with the same Smart Receiver.
The Smart Receiver is the difference between this kit and the DCRH-4K PLUS rubber hose driveway alarm kit. The SR-4000 plugs into a standard wall outlet and connects to your home's 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz Wi-Fi network. When a vehicle crosses the hose, it plays a chime and sends an instant push notification to the Dakota Alert app on your iPhone or Android phone, which pops up on your screen like a text message.
The SR-4000 is a full Dakota Alert receiver as well. Choose from 16 melodies and four volume levels, so each sensor can have its own sound. It also includes two Form C relay outputs and a 12V DC output to switch on a strobe light, sound a siren, or signal a gate operator or security panel, with selectable output times of 1 second, 5 seconds, 15 seconds, or 5 minutes.
The DCHT-4000 transmitter sends its signal up to 1 mile (about 5,000 feet) to the receiver, far beyond many driveway alarms that reach only a quarter or half mile. Actual range varies with terrain, trees, and buildings. The SR-4000 learns up to 16 Dakota Alert 4000 Series sensors, so you can add a second DCHT-4000 rubber hose transmitter for another entrance, a buried DCPT-4000 vehicle probe, or a break beam sensor for a walkway. Need a chime in a second building? Add a PR-4000 portable receiver.
The transmitter requires one 9-volt battery, sold separately.
Note: App notifications depend on your home Wi-Fi and internet connection. Dakota Alert advises that the SR-4000 and app should not be used for life- or safety-critical monitoring.
The SDCRH-4000 is a practical choice for homes with long driveways, farms and ranches, rural businesses, shops, and seasonal properties where you want to know about vehicle traffic without false alerts from wildlife. It also works well across gravel or paved lanes where burying a sensor isn't an option, and it can be picked up and moved to a new location whenever your needs change.
