I Need a Driveway Alert System with a Hidden Driveway Car Sensor
We would like to introduce you to the Dakota Alert Driveway Alarm, the DCPA-4K-PLUS. Many driveway alert systems feature a passive-infrared sensor that is triggered when a combination of heat and movement is detected within the monitored zone of the sensor. While this is a great feature if you want notifications for people and cars, if you live in a wooded area or an area with many animals, or do not want a notification if people pass through the zone, a magnetometer-based probe sensor (magnetic probe driveway alarm) is a great choice and works well as a farm driveway alarm, gate alarm, or driveway car sensor. The DCPA-4K-PLUS Dakota Alert Wireless Driveway Alert Alarm Kit with Enhanced Receiver is the one that stands out above all others.
How Does this Driveway Monitoring Kit Work?
This driveway monitoring kit will detect vehicles only that pass through the monitored zone and send a wireless signal up 5,000 ft. away to the plug-in receiver. The sensor features a magnetometer probe you bury parallel to the driveway. This creates a detection zone of 12'-13'. 50'ft of burial cable connects to the transmitter, which allows you to hide the transmitter and mount it to a post or nearby tree. When an automobile passes through the driveway detector zone, the sensor triggers an alert and sends a wireless signal to the receiver. Additional burial cable lengths are available for an additional cost--please call or email for additional information.
Because the probe is buried and the transmitter may be mounted to a tree or other post, this becomes a great hidden driveway alarm.
How the Dakota Driveway Sensor Probe Works:
When a car passes through this zone, the transmitter will send a wireless signal up to 5,000 ft. to the receiver. This is a line-of-sight distance. Environmental factors such as terrain, metal, and building materials will diminish the signal, but with a range of up to a full mile, this tends to work for most customers.
