Perfect! - Amazing - Actually works. I had a question about installing additional sound alerts (thingy's), so I called the customer service number and an actual person picked up the phone. I asked for technical support and she said, I can help you - and she did! How refreshing is that! Very easy system to install and the range is amazing! Review: Works nicely 200 yards through the woods - I purchased this two months ago and waited to write a review until I was convinced that it would work for my needs. On the pro side, it works nicely even transmitting through a wooded area. I took the photo standing next to the transmitter that is mounted on a tree by the driveway. It is approximately 200yd from the receiver mounted in a window (blocked from view by trees) in the center of the photo. The sensor is another 50 ft up the driveway. The receiver notification melodies are also very nice. Since adjusting sensitivity I get zero false alarms and zero misses for the last 6 weeks. It will even signal when I drive by on my ATV. On the con side, be prepared to dig a 50ft trench to bury the cable to the sensor. In my case I had to dig the trench twice. The first sensor placement was on a curve in the lane which resulted in unreliable sensing of passing cars. Since moving it further up the lane, it’s been very good at all notifications. Addendum: We have had this alarm now in Wisconsin for 20 months now and it has performed flawlessly. It is still on the original batteries. Last week we had a ice storm that took down several trees on the driveway, including the tree on which the transmitter was mounted. I contacted the Dakota Alert company and they were very helpful in providing a replacement transmitter at a reasonable price. Very happy with the purchase from a great company. ## Features - LONG-RANGE DETECTION: Enjoy up to 1-mile wireless range between the sensor and receiver, ensuring that you never miss a visitor or delivery.

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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing!

They eventually stopped working; would no longer pair. Also, MANY false alarms: deer, raccoons, even spiders would set the damn things off. If you're looking for a driveway alarm that alerts when cars approach, get this. It's more expensive and a bit more work to install, but you buy once, cry once. Follow the instructions and bury the sensor parallel to the road. Not perpendicular; one of the images I've seen shows the wrong orientation. Bury it at the proper depth and orientation and the thing just works. ## Frequently Bought Together - Dakota Alert Wireless Driveway Alarm System DCPA-4000 One Mile Wireless Range, DCR-4000 Receiver & DCPT-4000 Vehicle Detecting Probe Transmitter with Direct Burial Cable | Outdoor Vehicle Sensor Alarm - Dakota Alert Wireless Receiver- DCR-4000 Up to 1 Mile Operating Range - Compatible with All Dakota Alert 4000 Series Sensors: SBB-4000, DCHT-4000, DCMT-4000, DCPT-4000, and UT-4000 Transmitters - Dakota Alert Wireless Doorbell - UTDCR-4000 One Mile Long Range Wireless Door Bell 4000ft, Doorbell, Panic Button, Mailbox Alert System, Universal Transmitter & DCR-4000 Wireless Receiver --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/132154909-wireless-driveway-alarm-system-dcpa-4000-one-mile-wireless-range](https://www.desertcart.it/products/132154909-wireless-driveway-alarm-system-dcpa-4000-one-mile-wireless-range) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
