DCMA-4000 Wireless Motion Alert Kit by Dakota Alert Video Overview

PLEASE NOTE: This video is for the DMCA-2500 by Dakota Alert. Dakota has replaced this product with the DCMA-4000. The features are very similar with these noted differences:

  • Range from transmitter to receiver is up to 5,000 ft.
  • The receiver does not have c-form relays or 12v dc output.
  • The receiver plays 12 different tunes or melodies.


www.1800doorbell.com offers one of the most popular and cost-effective long-range wireless motion detectors on the market, the DCMA-4000 Wireless Motion Alert Kit by Dakota Alert.


This kit includes one transmitter and one receiver. The DCMA-4000 Driveway Monitor Kit could be used by homeowners and business owners alike as a driveway alarm or entrance alert.


The wireless motion detector sensor transmitter will detect a person or vehicle passing by out to about 50 feet and then send the signal back to the receiver up to 5,000 ft away depending on the local terrain. You can add additional sensor transmitters for the DCMA-4000 Kit. The DCMT-4000 wireless sensor transmitter can be used for other locations such as a second driveway.

The DCR-4000 is the receiver for the DCMA-4000 system. The receiver will play one of four different tunes that are selected at the transmitter so that different zones can be distinguished. The receiver has four C-relay outputs and one 12-volt DC output allowing you to tie in additional products to the receiver which includes a siren, a strobe light, or a bell.


You can also add additional receivers for the DCMA. The DCR-4000 receiver can be placed in other buildings or locations and will each sound at the same time.
