Essential Info

The Dakota Alert DCPA-2500 Wireless Driveway Probe Alert is a driveway alarm kit that is used to detect vehicles only. The transmitter operates on one 9-Volt Battery (not included) and has 50’ of direct burial wire connecting the probe to the exterior case. The probe is buried parallel to the driveway, and will detect vehicles passing by within approximately 10-12 feet. The direct burial cable can be run to a tree or post nearby, where the transmitter box is located. When a vehicle drives by, the transmitter will send a signal to the DCR-2500 receiver up to ½ a mile away. The receiver has four form "C" relay outputs and one 12VDC output. The output durations are adjustable up to 10 minutes. The receiver will play one of four different tunes that are selected at the transmitter so that different zones can be distinguished. The receiver is powered by a 12VDC transformer. The receiver also offers a 5 minute exit delay so you can leave the house without disturbing any occupants as well as a reminder beep and counter function.

The DCPA-2500 is ideal in locations where there may be deer or other large animals that would cause false signals with a motion detecting system. Also, because the probe is buried underground, it will be the least noticeable wireless motion system. The transmitter is weatherproof and meant for exterior locations.

Add up to 3 Extra Transmitters to your Wireless Driveway Probe Alert. The receiver will play up to 4 different tones to indicate where the car was.

HUGH -- cumberland, ME   4/30/2012
Finally a driveway alert that works every time without false alarms! This is my third system, the others all motion detectors. They all alerted to animals as well as wind, sun, birds and whatever. Also, the ability to change the frequency is vital as there are so many wireless devices out there and this is so powerful it will register the neighbors garage door opener until you find a unique frequency in your neighborhood (simple to change - took me only two tries).
TRISHA -- ballston spa, NY   4/26/2012
Installation was easy, works great, no false alarms from people or animals. The alarm was much louder than expected, I can hear it in the basement, first floor and second floor. Volume is adjustable too. Great price.

STEPHEN -- knoxville, TN   11/15/2010
Works perfectly, I have it about 500 feet from the transmitter to the receiver which is in my garage. I have it connected to my intercom doorbell and it is great - announces all over the house.

I've used the transmitter with up to four receivers for a number of years. Customer support has been great - when I needed it.
