The WPA-3000 Driveway Alarm by Dakota Alert is magnetometer based wireless driveway alert system. This means it will only alert you when the driveway sensor detects large metallic objects. Many driveway alarm systems are based on PIR sensors that send alert to the driveway alert receiver on any movement (humans, animals, or other things non-metallic objects).
The WPA-3000's transmitter or driveway sensor, is powered by a 9-volt battery and the sensor is then connected with 50 feet of wire to a probe buried in the ground.
The driveway alarm sensor's probe is buried next to the driveway and will then begin detecting metallic objects that pass within 10-12 feet of the probe. When a vehicle drives by, the transmitter will send a signal to the WPA-3000 receiver up to 600 feet away.
