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

The alarm came when promised. The only hard part was taking the back off of transmitter because the 4 screws required a #1 Phillip head screwdriver which was only one we didnt have. I did not change any settings inside ( filter, range or led light ). 9v battery which not included . I used the swivel mount on the out side of the house. For receiver the tune was very easy to set . There was about 8 or 10 tunes to pick from. Volume also has the off. Just keep hitting button. Alarm was catching large trucks or school buses so I adjust the position. Ill see how it does when snows or rain. I do have it protected under the roof overhang. Will update if theres a problem.

This purchase was to replace a receiver that died in 11 months.

Bought this product in August of 2022 it quit working in December changed battery still doesnt work.

using for a driveway alarm and it works like a charm

Like most electronic items from China, they dont work 100% of the time. This driveway alert works about 9 out of 10 times, not ideal, but better than some others Ive bought on Amazon.

Dakota continues to be the best choice in remote alarms. I have been using them for over 10 years. This new line of products is even better than before and the range is unbelievable. Match one or two base stations and a remote if needed. The entire system is easy to program and install. I highly recommend it and Im NOT getting compensated for this review.

It absolutely works with its own transmitter, but that is not the same as the transmitter of several years ago. Be sure you know what you are buying. It has enough blue lights to light up a barn. I opened it and blocked most of them, put a darkening filter on one. For hearing impaired, I think its a good design. But my house is becoming covered in blue lights, with this being the brightest. The sound control is good. This thing can be set LOUD if you need it, and can be turned down in a quiet setting. --Good equipment.

Pretty challenging setup procedures for a person not used to working with small electronics. Four circuit board pin jumpers require setup. Easy to do if youre confident doing these sort of things.

This is my third Dakota Alert. The first was fried by lightning, the second died a natural death. This latest DCMA-4000 is much simpler to set up, seems to have greater range, and has more alarm sound choices. Deer still set it off, but an alert is better than none. The outdoor enclosure is the same as the previous model, with which I had a problem. After a few years, the transmitter stopped working. I opened up the box and rain had infiltrated past the rubber o-ring seal. I dried out the box and pc board, and coated the o-ring with silicone grease which remedied the problem. I consider this a well-engineered product and will probably buy the next generation if and when this one dies. I also like that its made in the US.

I am very pleased with this product. It works great in our driveway. I would buy it again. I also liked that it was made in the USA.
