I bought this to replace my OLLLLLDDD Dakota system that isnt working properly anymore. I mean like 10 yrs old, which I consider pretty darn durable since its outside 24/7. So thinking about it, I added this one to another spot near our barn and it works like a charm. the old driveway alarm still not working well due to its age and love this one and its placement so picking up another camera and adding to system! love the flexibility to do that also!

You know it’s a bad product when to adjust the settings it’s literally telling you to move chips on the circuit board. Got this as a gift and thought it was a cheap rip off, my jaw dropped when I saw the actual price. Mine would not connect to the receiver right out of the box. Tried the directions 4 more times then gave up. Can’t even comment on the quality of its performance cause it doesn’t work. Will be returning.

Fairly easy to set yup. Did have some questions so I called and got excellent help. Highly recommend.

We have a long driveway & this lets me know when we have someone coming up.

We live out in the boonies with a long driveway. We dont like surprise visits, like the cops that recently showed up in body armor with guns drawn that came to the wrong address. So that prompted this purchase, which we are well-pleased with. We have it set to a pleasant-sounding, ding dong, ding dong. It always works on cars and not deer, which is a plus. Installation took about half an hour and was quite easy. I set it about 10 off the ground in a tree to help it get through the serious amount of trees and brush between it and our home. It worked first try. Added bonus: the kids hear the bell and rush outside to greet Daddy.

Had a different brand that was trouble. Went back to Dakota and the 4000 series is excellent.

Don’t see any improvements over old units, not sure who make a good long range one but it’s not Dakota Alert

I will continue to purchase and recomend them.

Love this product, this is our second one. Alerts you if someone breaks the beam. You just select the chime that you prefer.

Setup and instructions were pretty easy. I initially bought this as an additional security measure because Ive had a car prowler a few times that was captured on my Arlo but didnt know they were around. The most shocking time when we were watching tv around 6:30pm and it was dark outside. With the other cars we have in the driveway, I had no idea until a neighbor stopped by and said he chased the person away. My driveway and gravel area is about 30 wide and with the monitor set at the 50 range, I have the entire area including part of my front yard covered. Its been an excellent little monitor for getting notifications when a car happens to pull in, or when a package is being delivered and were in another room. The IR beam is very narrow which is great because I was worried about it going off when someone is walking their dog or cars for that matter. Some people have mentioned a lot of false alarms but we havent had that... maybe a handful or so over the last 3 months (all in the day). I will say this, in the mornings or when a car is cold (mainly white cars) it fails to trigger, but I dont consider that a deal breaker. When I got the Dakota DCMA-4000, I did need to reach out to their support after about a week or so because after adjusting the dip switches and testing, I noticed the receiver was blinking but there was no audio. I reset it per the instructions and paired it again and same result. Support (which was really helpful btw) told me that since I bought on Amazon, they may have had an older product that had the faulty speaker because they got reports of the speaker not working. They mailed me out a new speaker and was able to unplug the old one and replace. Sure I could have returned/exchanged for a new device, but figured since I was within my return window, this was a quick fix and it did resolve my issue.
