Dakota Alert's MURS Alert Probe Sensor is a wireless vehicle detection driveway alarm whose range and connectivity offers the ideal solution for business owners attempting to monitor customer traffic, farmers monitoring vacant farm sites, or even real estate and home developers who would like to monitor their various remote lots but cannot necessarily afford to provide physical security.

With a range of up to several miles, the MURS transmitter sends wireless alert signals to either your M538-BS or M538-HTtransceivers upon detecting approaching vehicles. And with its reliable and sophisticated detection-technology you are free from worrying about approaching or passing animals setting off any false-alarms, which saves you the time, money and effort it can take to perform the often-tedious task of inspecting your properties.

Reliability and safety go hand in hand, and Dakota Alert has taken every precaution to ensure your system will not fail you. As listening to the radios in our cars have taught us, wireless signals can be marked by interference. But your fear of crossing signals can be laid to rest, as the MURS Alert Probe Sensor gives you 5 distinct channels and 38 sub-channels to choose from, eliminating the risk of interference from other user signals. Furthermore, the system requires only 6 AA alkaline batteries with a battery life of six to twelve months under most conditions.

How It Works
Probe is connected to transmitter box with 50' of direct burial cable. Place probe in driveway and when MURS Alert detects vehicle, signal is sent to receiver in spoken English and twice repeats the phrase "Alert Zone One," "Alert Zone Two," "Alert Zone Three," or "Alert Zone Four." The four alert messages are easily selected at the transmitter, so that up to four different zones can be monitored simultaneously.

I installed one of these MURS probes along side my driveway and ran the 50' cable to the transmitter mounted on a fence post. My transmit distance is only around 200' and at that distance, the signal is very reliable. I have the relay contacts on the receiver connected to a zone point on my alarm system so I get a log record every time it trips and a voice alert as well. Have not had it long enough to have any experience with battery life and it doesn't appear to have a low battery indication unless I'm missing that? I will probably just change the batteries twice a year to be safe (6 AA cells) Works great so far!

I've had two of the MURS probe sensors for 6 years now. I installed mine with conduit to the driveway sensor to protect the wire from gophers and mounted the electronics in a little bird house. With regular battery changes every 8 to 10 months the units have worked flawlessly. I convinced a neighbor to get one for a property about 5 miles away ( line of sight ) and he's had no trouble receiving alerts. The only negative I've noticed is that sometimes the unit will alert with lightning storms over head. Decreasing the sensitivity seemed to help that.
