Don’t be caught unaware. Protect your home or business from unexpected visitors. The WMA Wireless Motion Alert system sends an immediate alert when a person or car enters your property. The transmitter operates on one 9V battery, is weatherproof, and easily mounts to a tree or post near the driveway. The transmitter uses a infrared beam to detect people or vehicles to a distance up to 80′, then sends a radio signal back to the receiver, which can be placed in your home up to 600 feet away. Dakota Alert WMA-3000 / Includes one Transmitter and one WR-3000 Receiver / Transmitter uses a passive infrared (PIR) beam to detect people or vehicles up to a distance of 80′, then sends radio signal back to the Receiver up to 60′ away (actual range will vary depending on local terrain). / Operating temp range : -30 degrees F to 120 degress F.

   This item is currently (5/7/10) back at the manufacturer’s. It did not work as advertised. It was supposed to sense motion at a range of 20 ft from a driveway, but it was more like 3 ft. In addition, the range is supposed to be 600 ft, but this one was about 125ft–when it worked. The item was compared to the exact model which a friend owns, and his worked as advertised. I phoned the manufacturer’s tech support 3 times with no change in the unit. I was finally advised to return it to them for a possible total makeover.

   One bit of information, NOT in the instructions is that the unit requires either Energizer or Duracell batteries, not store brand. It seems store brands are not powerful enough to drive the unit. Even when these batteries were used, the unit did not function properly.

   I am hoping the manufacturer will get the unit operating properly.

   Do not be misled into buying this product. I can only assume that the positive reviews it received were from employees of the manufacturer. Mine lasted for two weeks (never exposed to inclement weather) then stopped functioning. Probably best that it did as I was getting so annoyed with false alarms that it was destined to be used for target practice. I tried altering the location of the mount, changing the angle at which it scanned across the driveway, all to no avail. As for that claim of a 600 foot range, I could only get it to work at about 100 feet or less. No obstructions, no trees, no fences between the transmitter and receiver. At that distance it doesn’t give one much time to react to an alert, might just as well wait for the doorbell! I attempted to call Dakota customer service THREE times and was put on terminal hold. Overwhelmed with complaints, I’m sure. Finally, I just gave up and scrapped the whole thing. This product is an overpriced, overhyped piece of junk and I am sorry I spent the money on it. Save your money and spend it on a good watchdog! I gave it “1 star” because I couldn’t give it “0 stars”.

   DON’T BUY THIS! It’s a piece of Schmidt. I have Xmitter 250′ away from receiver in line-of sight. Doesn’t work.

   The sensitivity of this unit is excellent.

   I have it mounted indoors for cars/people/dogs coming down my driveway.

   I had to put it on low sensitivity since it was picking up cars going by.

   It has served my needs well

   Transmitter is very sensitive. Triggers the alarm even when the family cat walks by. Readjustment of sensitivity has helped some. When sensor tube is filled with blowing snow, unit does not work.
