Description of πŸ”” 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

AUTO-DETECTS MOVING VEHICLES - Dakota Alert DCPA-4000 System consists of a 50' direct burial cable and DCPT-4000 transmitter that detects any moving metal vehicles that drive near the metal detecting probe. RECEIVE ALERTS OF INCOMING CARS IMMEDIATELY - The DCPT-4000 will send a wireless signal to the receiver, which will emit a chime when the transmitter detects any vehicle. NEVER SENDS FALSE ALERTS - The probe only detects vehicles passing nearby. Strong winds or large animals won't trigger the transmitter's alarm. IDEAL FOR MONITORING DRIVEWAYS - The metal sensing probe detects passing cars within about 10~12 feet. Plus, the transmitter can send signals even if the DCR-4000 receiver is about 1 mile away. WEATHER RESISTANT FOR OUTDOORS - The DCPT-4000 Vehicle Detecting Probe Transmitter is weatherproof and can withstand temperatures from -30 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit.

Wrong instruction manual and outdated defective transmitter was sent.

We have ordered the DCPT-4000 Wireless Transmitter. When we opened the box it was a DCPT-4000 but the manual was for a DCPT-2500. There is little to no similarity in setup between the two devices. We had to download the instructions and owner's manual for the 4000 from the Dakota Alert website. The installation went fine, but the sensitivity switch is (as you say) very sensitive. If you go all the way clockwise, the receiver will keep giving false positives. We lowered it by about 25% and it…

I don't know what to think

So as the other reviewer says, it does what it's supposed to do. At least for now. I used to have a 2500 model that worked great for a couple of years. We received many false positives after that, and although the manufacturer didn't respond to my request for help diagnosing the problem, the online seller gave us things to try and fix our problem. Then I saw an ad for this exciting new product on Dakota's website. So we gave them another chance. If you're a previous owner of the 2500 you've had

Pros
  • Hands free
Cons
  • Very expensive

Works as advertised - with careful installation

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…

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Only available in black
