Review: Best Driveway Alarm out there! - I've had my Dakota Alert Driveway Alarm for 5 years now so it's time to write a review. I live out in the country and like to know when someone is heading to the house. I tried the one that detects motion and the deer kept setting it off all night. This one works when it detects the metal in a vehicle, It transmits to the alarm over a half a mile and I've only had to change the batteries once! Bought one this year for my mom and dad for Christmas!
Review: Works perfectly. Buy once, cry once. - Easy to set up and it works great! I mounted the box on a fence and it easily reached the receiver. I turned the sensitivity all the way down for install, but I ended up leaving it there because it was honestly perfect for being buried under the road. I would imagine you would need to turn the sensitivity up if it were along side the road, but for me it was just as easy to bury it in the middle. I have not had a single false alarm. I would highly recommend this product.

## Features

- 📡 DRIVEWAY ALARM WITH ONE-MILE WIRELESS RANGE: The Dakota Alert DCPA-4k Plus driveway alarm is designed with a one-mile wireless range between the sensor and receiver, providing maximum coverage and eliminating false signals from non-vehicle sources such as deer and other large animals.
- 🔧EASY INSTALLATION OF YOUR DRIVEWAY ALARM: Installing the Dakota Alert RE-4k Plus driveway alarm sensor is easy, and up to 16 sensors can be paired with one receiver or an unlimited number of receivers can be paired to one sensor. This makes the driveway alarm highly customizable to your needs and can be set up in minutes with its simple code-learning technology.
- 🔊LONGEST WIRELESS RANGE IN ITS CLASS: The one-mile wireless range of the Dakota Alert DCPA-4k Plus driveway alarm is the longest in its class, providing a signal that is much more likely to get through to the receiver compared to other products that only offer ¼ mile or ½ mile.
- 🔔 16 DIFFERENT TUNES FOR YOUR DRIVEWAY ALERT: The RE-4k Plus receiver will play one of 16 different tunes when a signal is received from the DCPT-4000 vehicle sensor, providing an audible alert of a detected vehicle. Additionally, the receiver also has two form C relay outputs and one 12 VDC output, which can be used with other accessories.
- 🔋ULTRA-RELIABLE OPERATION FOR YOUR DRIVEWAY ALERT: The Dakota Alert DCPA-4k Plus driveway alarm sensor operates on three CR-123 batteries (included), which typically last a year or more before needing to be changed. With battery operation day and night, there is no need to worry about a solar panel not charging, ensuring reliable operation at all times.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I am going to have a gravel driveway paved.  Would there be any advantage or disadvantage of installing the sensor wire under the pavement beforehand?**
A: Before paving, I buried a thick walled pvc pipe across the driveway so that the ends of the pipe went beyond the edge of the driveway and were accessible. After,  they paved the driveway,  I fed the sensor into the pipe using a pole marked so I knew when to stop pushing leaving the sensor midway in the driveway.  I adjusted the sensitivity and it works great and if I ever have to replace or repair it,  I can simply slide it out of the pipe.

**Q: Can you hook up an additonal audio alert in a differnt location from the receiver?**
A: Yes, you can have multiple senders and receivers ( w multiple alert sounds too)

**Q: Can the probe be located in a way tht only incoming vehicles are detected?**
A: The probe detects vehicles up to about 10 feet (3m) away. You can learn more on how to position the transmitter at [http://dakotaalert.com/kcmsLite/assets/docs/DCPT_4000.pdf].

**Q: Is the receiver compatible with google home?**
A: No, the DCR-4000 Receiver is only compatible with Dakota Alert BBT-4000, DCHT-4000, DCMT-4000, DCPT-4000, and UT-4000 Transmitters.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works perfectly. Buy once, cry once.

I would highly recommend this product.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works as advertised. Digging the ditch to install was physically demanding.
*by M***T on September 3, 2025*

I have used this for a few weeks now and it works perfectly. No false alarms by animals or wind, like the others we have used. It even picks up motorcycles. Pros- Works great. Easy to set up. Cons- I had to dig a 30 foot ditch in my location to mount it on a tree. The roots are a real pain. Thought it was a little expensive for a driveway alarm but if it continues to work trouble free it will be well worth it.
