Dakota Alert Driveway Monitor With this wireless driveway motion alert system you'll know when someone is coming up the driveway. The weatherproof transmitter is engineered for year-round outdoor use and projects a passive infrared beam across the driveway that will sense motion of people or vehicles up to 80 ft. away. You program the receiver in your home to sound one of four tones when the beam is crossed. You control the volume, tone style and duration of the sound. The sensor operates on a 9-volt battery (not included) and the receiver plugs into a home wall outlet. (Maximum range is 600 ft.) Wireless Probe Alert This is a very effective tool for detection of vehicles only. The probe is buried parallel to the driveway and will detect any vehicle passing within 10-12 ft. Powered by a 9-volt battery (not included), the unit comes with 50 ft. of burial cable to connect the probe to a transmitter box. When the probe senses a vehicle, the transmitter activates a tone on the receiver in your home up to 600 ft. away. Because it detects only metal objects, it's ideal for areas where deer, farm animals or pedestrians could trigger false alarms from motion detection systems.
Available: Infared, Probe.

Works Great,September 1, 2009
By jwpafrom pa
"Once installed the alarm wouldn't stop going off. Had it set on high and everything including lightning would set it off. Just play with the sensitivity at the monitor until its just right. The receiver is about 1700 feet away, on the other side of a hill, and through some trees and it works great every time."

Doorbell to wine,July 6, 2009
By ColoradoWinesfrom Colorado
"A neighbor of ours has this driveway monitor and suggested we get one, too. We have a home-based winery business in a very rural area and our tasting room is about 600 feet from our home. We used to put a sign on the door of the tasting room telling people to call us if we were not there. Now, we can be down at the house, and when a vehicle comes through the entry, the monitor alerts us immediately. We can be up to the tasting room just as people are getting out of their cars, saving them the hassle of having to call or come down to the house. We wish we had known about this a few years ago!"

Car Bell,June 16, 2009
By SwampDragonfrom Florida
"Got the underground model for my parents as their "lane" is a little over a quarter mile long from the road to the house and since there are cattle and other critters walking around the other model would not work. Other than digging a small thrench for 50 feet, the installation was a snap. This thing really works, not only on cars/trucks but also on "Mules" and even mowers. I think it may drive mom crazy when dad mows but at least they'll know now when visitors are coming well in advance. So far it works great so I would recommend it if you are only trying to pick up vehicle traffic in a discreet way."

Driveway Alert,May 27, 2009
By toothdogfrom tn
"I received my first Dakota Wireless Driveway Alert and it worked perfectly for a week, then the transitter quit. I returned it to Cabela's for an exchange, and the second one is doing great after two weeks use. We live back in the woods and it gives us a real feeling of increased security to be alerted when someone drives or even walks down our driveway."

Dakota Driveway Alert Monitor,February 17, 2009
By longcanefrom Happy in South Carolina
"Excellent product! I have it installed about 50 yards from the reciever and positioned so that it covers both my driveway and my neighbors (about 40 yards from the transmitter and who's home is just for vacations) so that I am monitering the two driveways with the one transmitter. I had it set too low to begin with, and cats and small dogs would set it off. With a little tinkering with the height it now only goes off for vehicles, people and deer. We do turn it off at night when the house alarm goes on. My wife loves it because it does give you a heads up when something or someone is approaching your home. I also bought the bird house made to put the transmitter in. Highly reccomend this product!

Dakota Driveway probe,January 21, 2009
By Drivewaysentinelfrom Simsbury, CT
"Have had the driveway probe now for 3 weeks, it is winter and the probe is burried approx 8-10 inches underground next to my 10 foot wide paved driveway. There is at least 2 feet of plowed snow ontop of the probe. So far this has worked excellent. I chose the probe only because we are more concerned about cars coming up the drive and it seemed from other reviews that for my needs this would have less false alarms."

No work,January 5, 2009
By Bernnardfrom Luray, VA
"I could not get the Driveway Monitor to work. I called Dakota Alert and they said to set the unit back about 20 feet from the drive (it was already 15 feet) or mount it up to about 6 feet high looking down on the driveway."

DRIVEWAY ALERT,October 22, 2008
By AARDVARKF111from crestview, fl.
"...THE UNIT WORK'S WHEN IT WANTS TO AND IF IT DOES NOT WANT TO WORK TODAY IT WILL NOT. AFTER ONE UNIT FAILED TO "SOUND AN ALERT "SEVERAL TIMES AND AFTER CONTACTING A CONCERNED COMPANY REPRESENTATIVE I OPTED TO REPLACE THE UNIT (CABELA'S REPLACED IT SINCE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRENTY.. NO HASSLE, OF COURSE) I'M NOT SURE IF "DAKOTA" WOULD HAVE REPLACED THE UNIT,,, BUT I AM SURE THEY WOULD HAVE EXCEPT I CALLED CABELA'S FIRST!! IT WOULD BE AN EXCELLENT PRODUCT EXCEPT IT IS TOO PICKY WHEN IT WANTS TO BE AND YOU ARE CONSTANTLY MAKING ADJUSTMENTS TO SEE IF THAT IS WHAT IT NEEDS.. WE NEED THE WARNING SYSTEM SO I AM NOW TRYING THE SECOND ONE WITH HOPES OF THE BEST BUT IT ALREADY FAILED ONCE AND I MADE ANOTHER INTERNAL ADJUSTMENT ACCORDING TO THE DIRECTIONS. SO WE WILL GIVE IT A MONTH OR SO AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.. FIRST VEHICLE TO GET PASSED IT DRAWS THE LINE FOR ME."

Works Great - But...,August 3, 2008
By jusayo
"My first receiver worked erratically but I had another from the mfr in about a week. No prob The transmitter stopped working one day. I'd hidden it by a stump, sitting directly on the ground. Once I opened it and let the inside dry out, it worked fine again. I remembered my mother putting a paper towel in jars to absorb moisture so I gently packed a couple around the inside. I also hung it off the ground. No problems after that. It's kinda high in price but we're very happy with ours. Also - you can call Dakota Alert and talk to a real person!"
