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

Adjustable volume & alarm sounds is nice. We had to move it to the other side of the driveway because it was going off every time a train would go by.

Several ring tones to pick from!

I installed this on my entrance to my driveway and it’s works fantastic. It lets me know whenever anyone enters my property. The only issue I had was that I attached the receiver to a tree and red ants got into it. I then called Tech support and they told me I should put in moth balls to keep the ants out. After placing the moth balls in the receiver I have not had anymore issues with ants. Overall it’s a great product that actually works and is pretty reasonable.

Easy install and setup, I used pvc to run the prob wire mainly because if replacement is needed, re-digging the trench isn’t necessary . Pairing up was easy and the system has been working well. The two receivers are loud enough to cover the downstairs and most of the upstairs. The C123A batteries (3 included) have a shelf life of 7-10 years, don’t know the actual longevity. The transmitter is about 200 yards away and is transmitted through brick and stucco walls to the receivers with no issues. This system replaced a hardwired unit that was Installed 20 years ago. Haven’t had any t-storms since installation so no complaints on false alarms. Wish it had an app to advise on activation

Great product. We use this item to keep track of the vehicles that enter our driveway when we are in the back yard.

I did not realise that it would have a USA plug. As we reside in Aus, I assumed you would supply us with an Australian one.

Hit and miss on detecting vehicles coming up or leaving via the driveway. My son drops off his daughter at my house before daylight. Hasnt ever detected his truck. I have the range set at 25 and it is less than that to the driveway. Usually detects people walking in driveway.

Wont work with my other Dakota alert stuff. This should be pointed out in the product description.

I have purchased about every brand out there on the market. But these units are still the best ones I have found workmanship of the seals and gaskets and threaded inserts into the plastic is 10 times better than anything else. Yes they work and no they dont work it all depends on the application where the sensor is placed you can have a real good sensor not work properly by being placed in the wrong spot. And as far as distance it does work pretty far but that depends on what type of structure and where the unit is mounted. Kind of like a cell phone outside works great but in a steel building cell phone may drop calls. As far as battery life extremely excellent for 19 volt battery some of my units are still over a year and a half old on the same 9 volt battery unbelievable actually. The unit is kind of a pain to set up and the chimes that they have are party disappointed but the external options are excellent for the receiver. Wish you could customize the sounds better with your own recordings but hopefully thats in a future product.

Was excited to find a product from a reputable company that showed the potential if 1 mile transmittal distance. What a disappointment ! The items seem like decent build quality. The tones are a bit dated in such a digital age. Easy to install. Too bad it didnt reach 1200 with nearly line of sight. The receiver is in a metal pole building, but I really didnt expect to lose over 3/4 the transmission distance. Ill place the receiver in a window sill tomorrow and try again at the preferred location (1200 away). If that doesnt help its, sadly, headed back. An option for an external antenna on the receiver would be a nice feature. Some better tones would help as well. We shall see tomorrow if it stays or if it goes. Ill update this review if I can.
