With the Dakota Alert 2500’ Series alarm system say goodbye to false alarms that may be caused by deer, birds or dogs! This probe sensor detects metal only and has a long range wireless transmitter reaching up to 2500’ (1/2 mile). When the probe detects a vehicle an alarm signal is sent to the transmitter box which then sends a wireless signal to the driveway chime receiver!
This probe sensor is capable of detecting vehicles within approximately 10’ of the probe, accompanied by a sensitivity adjustment allowing you to decrease this range if required. Operating on four (4) CR123A 3V batteries (included), the probe and transmitter will typically run for approximately 12 months, at which time a low battery warning is provided.
Equipped with built-in volume control and four (4) different chime tones, the driveway chime receiver is designed to capture your attention! The receiver consists of four (4) form “C” relay outputs and one (1) 12V output. These outputs can be programmed to activate for 1 second, 10 seconds, 1 minute, or 10 minutes. In addition to these outputs, there are also built-in LED lights present on the receiver if the situation arose where the original alarm was neglected. These reminder lights, paired with an audible beep, can be programmed to activate periodically after an alarm signal to ensure the visitor does not go unnoticed!

Installed this along with an additional receiver (DCR2500) in less than 5 minutes. Literally plug and play. The range from the transmitter to the furthest receiver is more than 2400 ft with obstacles. The only improvement I could suggest is to offer this item with a solar panel and rechargeable batteries for the transmitter. I would most definitely suggest this item to others wanting notice for vehicles entering their property. Discussing this and options with customer service is exceptional. This company rates above and beyond others I have dealt with. I will be looking for other items offered by Absolute Automation.

The Dakota Alert 2500 is the bomb. I've got a winding 1.000' gravel driveway. My house isn't visible through the trees until the last 300'. The Dakota signal wouldn't reach from the entrance (1,000 feet) to my house, but after I moved it in a bit (700 feet), it works perfect. ATV's, UTV's, cars and trucks - it gets them all. I did have to bury the probe in the center of my driveway (in a pvc pipe to protect the cord) to get the ATV's, but cars and trucks picked up easily from a driveway edge placement.
I should have bought this thing years ago. Oh yea, I almost forgot. If you buy it from Absolute Automation, you can actually talk to someone who knows the products -if you need help installing something. Amazon - maybe not so much.

I purchased this alarm for my parents would do not hear well. This alarm combined with a strobe is working great for them. The alarm is pretty loud but the light the icing on the cake. Great product and great service from absolute automation.

Just what I was looking for - one happy customer! It works perfectly to let me know when a vehicle has pulled in the entrance of my driveway. Great to have a little warning before someone is already at the front door or on the property working in the yard.
It arrived in 2 days, was easy to set up (took maybe 15 minutes), and the ringtone is pleasant. I have an old house with think walls where a lot of wireless products don't work and this works perfectly.
The only suggestion I would make is a minor improvement - It would be great if you also made a mailbox type option that can be connected to one of the zones. Mailbox is too close to the street to try to isolate the mail truck but it would be terrific to know when the mail has been delivered. I'm very happy with my purchase!

Alarm worked but signal could not reach my house 1200 feet away through some low hills and trees. So go for the next size up if you doubt the range of this unit.

I found this product to be minimally acceptable. Only one out of the four zones worked consistently. I decided not to go thru the hassle of returning it because I just needed one zone for my application. Unfortunately the only zone that works has an annoying sounding audible alarm (whistle). The manual was not easy for me to understand even though I have an engineering degree.

Everything is exactly as advertised.

Received the Driveway Alarm super quick; the install was easy and completed in about 45 minutes. Works as advertised and no more of the false alarms from deer, the wind, etc. we had with infrared alarms.
