Secure Your Home With The Dakota Alert Wma-3000 Driveway Alarm

Home security has never been more important than it is today. If you grew up in the fifties or sixties you might remember not even locking your home and leaving the keys in the ignition (or above the visor) of the car. Times have changed and so have attitudes. The Dakota Alert WMA-3000 wireless driveway alarm is on the cutting edge of an industry meant to keep you safe.

Dakota Alert Incorporated, the maker of the WMA-3000 is a modest, South Dakota family-run business with inauspicious beginnings. Living out in the far-reaching prairies of the Dakotas, their isolation prompted them to devise an alarm system to let them know when someone was 'coming down the lane'. Necessity is still the mother of invention!

They figured out how to rig up a driveway alert system to deliver a heads-up to a receiver back at the house whenever a vehicle was approaching. It worked great... No more unannounced visitors. It worked so well, in fact, that word got around and others wanted one!

As a result of their dedication to the highest quality manufacturing (backed up by uncompromising service), Dakota has become the leading maker of wireless alert products. Their equipment allows you to monitor your property and premises and will alert you to any intrusion. Their units work coming right out of the box and are easily installed and operated.

The driveway alert system is comprised of a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter sends out an invisible infrared beam which, when activated by a vehicle or a person entering the covered area, sends a signal to the receiver, which then sounds an alarm. More transmitters can be added to cover more areas and up to four zones can be handled simultaneously.

The system, properly installed, is an ideal way to protect your business or home premises. Those living in rural areas who have a long driveway find it to be a godsend. It's nice to know when a person or vehicle is approaching (at any time of day or night). Some are even using the system to alert them when the mail or the newspaper has been delivered, saving fruitless trips only to discover an empty mailbox.

A portable receiver is also available that is compact and can easily be carried in a pocket or clipped onto your belt. This allows you to receive alerts even when you are out of earshot of the receiver in your house. It also records the date, time and zone of every alert made.

The Dakota Alert WMA-3000 wireless driveway alarm is a snap to install. Transmitters operate with a 9-volt battery, are made for harsh weather conditions and can easily be attached to a wall, post or tree. The receiver plugs into any household electric outlet and can be set to produce different sounding alarms for each zone covered. Accessories such as sirens, loud bells and automatic dialers can also be added onto the system. It's a very good unit. There are lots of user reviews available online.
