Would there be any advantage or disadvantage of installing the sensor wire under the pavement beforehand?** A: Before paving, I buried a thick walled pvc pipe across the driveway so that the ends of the pipe went beyond the edge of the driveway and were accessible. After, they paved the driveway, I fed the sensor into the pipe using a pole marked so I knew when to stop pushing leaving the sensor midway in the driveway. I adjusted the sensitivity and it works great and if I ever have to replace or repair it, I can simply slide it out of the pipe. **Q: Can you hook up an additonal audio alert in a differnt location from the receiver?** A: Yes, you can have multiple senders and receivers ( w multiple alert sounds too) **Q: Can the probe be located in a way tht only incoming vehicles are detected?** A: The probe detects vehicles up to about 10 feet (3m) away. You can learn more on how to position the transmitter at [http://dakotaalert.com/kcmsLite/assets/docs/DCPT_4000.pdf]. **Q: Is the receiver compatible with google home?** A: No, the DCR-4000 Receiver is only compatible with Dakota Alert BBT-4000, DCHT-4000, DCMT-4000, DCPT-4000, and UT-4000 Transmitters. ## Frequently Bought Together - Dakota Alert Wireless Driveway Alarm System DCPA-4000 One Mile Wireless Range, DCR-4000 Receiver & DCPT-4000 Vehicle Detecting Probe Transmitter with Direct Burial Cable | Outdoor Vehicle Sensor Alarm - 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 - Dakota Alert Wireless Doorbell - UTDCR-4000 One Mile Long Range Wireless Door Bell 4000ft, Doorbell, Panic Button, Mailbox Alert System, Universal Transmitter & DCR-4000 Wireless Receiver --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/132154909-dakota-alert-wireless-driveway-alarm-system-dcpa-4000-one-mile](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/132154909-dakota-alert-wireless-driveway-alarm-system-dcpa-4000-one-mile) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-11-12*
