WMA-3000 - Dakota Wireless Motion Drive Alert 3000 Driveway Alarm

A driveway alarm can be that extra layer of home security that you need. Even if you already have an alarm system in place, a driveway alarm protects the parameter of your home and will instantly warn you of unwanted intruders. On the other hand, a driveway alarm can give you that extra time you need to greet a guest or to answer the door.

The weatherproof transmitter operates on one 9-volt battery and is easily mounted on a tree or post near the driveway. The transmitter uses an infrared beam to detect people or vehicles to a distance of up to 80 feet. The transmitter then sends a radio signal back to the receiver, which can be placed in your home up to 600 feet away. With additional transmitters up to four zones can be monitored. The transmitters can be programmed so they will each sound a different tone at the receiver.

The receiver plugs into a standard wall outlet and can be placed on a table or mounted on a wall. When the receiver gets a signal one of four different tones will sound for a few seconds. Your choices are classical, a Westminster chime, a ding dong, or a whistle. You can add accessories also such as a wireless receiver remote or an extra transmitter.

The WMA–3000 is not only useful for driveways, but can guard over any spot where you think an intruder or vandal might be. For instance, the driveway alarm can warn you if someone is approaching behind the house or even alert you if someone is near your pool. The device can be installed almost anywhere - along the door, display cabinets, and even house paths and passages.

The WMA-3000 includes the WR-3000 receiver and the WMAT-3000 transmitter:

Receiver
The WR-3000 receiver can be used with any of the Dakota Alert 3000 series transmitters (WMT-3000, WPT-3000, WHT-3000). The WR-3000 plugs in to a standard wall outlet and can be placed on a table or mounted on the wall. When the receiver gets a signal from the transmitter one of 4 different tones (Classical , Westminster Chime, Ding Dong, Whistle) will sound for a few seconds. There is also a volume control so you can set the sound to the desired level. The receiver is also equipped with 4 form “C” relays (one for each zone) and one 12 VDC output terminal that will activate for several seconds when a signal is received. The receiver can be user programmed so the 12VDC terminal and one relay will activate for 10 minutes if this is desired. The tones will still sound for several seconds.

Transmitter
The WMT-3000 transmitter is used with the Dakota Alert WR-3000 receiver. The WMT-3000 transmitter uses a passive infrared (PIR) detector to detect people, vehicles or large animals at the monitored location. When the transmitter detects an object, it will send a signal to the receiver, which will sound one of four different tones (Classical, Westminster Chime, Ding Dong, or Whistle) for a few seconds. The transmitter can be used as a driveway alarm, or in the back yard to monitor around tool sheds or patios.
