Details: Dakota Alert DCPA-4000 Receiver

The DCPA-4000 is a driveway alarm kit that is used to detect vehicles only. The transmitter operates on four CR123a batteries (not included in orders outside of the United States) 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-4000 receiver up to 1 mile away.*

The DCPA-4000 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 of our wireless systems. The transmitter is weatherproof and meant for exterior locations.

The DCR-4000 receiver will play one of 12 different tunes that are selected at the transmitter so that different zones can be distinguished. The receiver is powered by a 12VDC transformer.

*Actual range will vary depending on the environment.

Note: this transmitter is only compatible with the 4000 series receivers
