Wireless Motion Detectors

The motion sensor will detect people or vehicles up to 80'-100’ away and then will send a signal to the receiver up to 1 mile away*. The weatherproof motion sensor is powered by one 9 Volt battery (not included).  Can be used to monitor driveways, back yards, tool sheds, etc.

*Actual range will vary depending on terrain

  • What's the difference between the DCMA-4k Plus and the DCMA-4000?

    The difference is the receiver.  Both kits use the same DCMT-4000 sensor, but the DCMA-4000 includes the DCR-4000 receiver.  The DCR-4000 will play a chime/tune when the sensor is activated.  The receiver will only give a sound, there are no additional outputs. 

    The DCMA-4k Plus includes the RE-4k Plus receiver.  The RE-4k Plus will play a chime/tune when the sensor is activated but there are also two Form C (NO/NC) relay outputs as well as a 12 VDC output.  The outputs can be set to activate for 1, 5, 15 seconds or 5 minutes when the sensor is activated.  The outputs could be used to connect to a home automation panel or the 12 VDC could be used to power a bell or strobe light.

  • Why would I choose a motion sensor over a probe?

    The DCMT-4000 is a passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor that can detect people or vehicles.  The PIR sensor can be mounted on a post or tree to monitor for people or vehicles up to 80 to 100 feet away.  The sensor is easy to install and is powered by one 9-volt battery.  The sensor can be used to monitor driveways, backyards, tool sheds, etc.  Anywhere you want to monitor for a car driving or a person walking.
