Review on 🔔 Enhanced Dakota Alert DCPA-4000 Wireless Driveway Alarm System - Advanced DCR-4000 Receiver and Innovative DCPT-4000 Vehicle Detecting Probe Transmitter with 50-FT of Shielded Direct Burial Cable by Keith Harris

This device has been determined to replace a ten year old unburied metal/car alarm whose last receiver (of the original 3) has finally died. The manufacturer of the old alarm system went bankrupt a few years ago, so there is no hope of simply buying another receiver for the old system. The tree required more work than the previous system, which did not require a connecting wire to the ground probe. This system handles the distance from the site line much better than the previous brand/style system. I had to adjust the sensitivity so that the transmitter detects both large and small vehicles. *** IMPORTANT WARNING *** As another reviewer mentioned (and I took his advice seriously), you MUST have a transmitter and receiver nearby. with each other to initially sync them together (and specify which of the dozen receiver sounds you want to use). With that in mind, I purchased a few additional receivers in addition to the full system/set that I might not otherwise have purchased until I had a chance to evaluate how the new system worked. In my application, the transmitter is about 300 feet from the nearest outlet, which would be required to sync an additional receiver to the transmitter. I synced all my receivers before my transmitter was installed and I will keep extra receivers in my boxes until needed. *** UPDATE *** Still trying to get the transmitter sensitivity right. No false alarms (yet), but the underground probe sometimes misses vehicles of all sizes (silent receiver). Turning the sensitivity knob to maximum sends the transmitter continuous triggers to the receiver, so this is not a response.
