Ive had several Guardline driveway alarms and they lasted a year or two and then quit working. When I tried to get a replacement sensor, what was available worked on a different frequency which made my receiver junk. While the sensors were working, I got false alarms. I have had a Dakota system and motion sensor for several months This product had more settings and it feels like it is better built (I suppose time will tell). I have not gotten any false alarms.

So far this is working thru walls and motion is detected. My concern was the distance. When I have had other door bells- 6 months in they stop working so will see how long this one lasts!!!

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.

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

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.

I will continue to purchase and recomend them.

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

This is a great product for people who live in the country and have long driveways and want to know whos coming and going.

This was a waste of money for us. It will pick up a person walking in front of it and some cars if they are driving up the driveway very slow. It will not pick the car up again on the way out. Too bad we were gone when this came so we cant send it or the receiver back. I found one at Harbor Freight here in town for $17.00 and works like a charm.
