Product Description

The WR-3000 is the receiver for All 3000 Series systems. The WR-3000 plugs into 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 four different tones (Classical, Westminster Chime, Ding Dong, or Whistle) will sound for a few seconds. There is also a volume control, allowing you to set the sound to the desired level.The WR-3000 is equipped with four form "C" relays (one for each zone), and one 12-volt DC output terminal that will activate for several seconds when a signal is received. The receiver can be user-programmed, so the 12-volt DC terminal and one relay will activate for 10 minutes, if this is desired. The tones will still sound for several seconds.

1.0 out of 5 stars Completely unreliable, July 14, 2011

Product is billed as having 600' range--range is actually less than 100' and does not work well through walls. Motion detection area is very narrow and not consistent. Well-conceived but poorly executed product. Tried to find a way to give it 0 stars, but system doesn't allow it.

I first bought this product in March of 09. It immediately became useful when I caught a creep entering my property at night on night after the alert went off. (See [...] ) You can see when the light come on, he runs. This was two weeks after getting my alert. Then once again a year later I caught a second creep in action. ( [...] ) The unit worked for just over a year before it quit working. I sent it back knowing it was just out of warrantee, but the people at dakota honored it anyway and sent me a new one. During the time the unit was out for repair, my wife and I realized how much we missed the unit. Not just the fact that we couldn't tell when someone had come into our driveway but how unprotected we felt at night. So I bought a second receiver. We have 4 transmitters on the property. One at the back gate, one on our rear deck, one near our garage door entrance and one at the driveway. Each zone has its own tone. Now with our repaired receiver in our laundry room and the new receiver in our bedroom, we sleep well at night. Unless the unit goes off : o )

I would add that the transmitters and receivers work flawlessly together. When it goes off, something is up. Dogs and dear will set it off, so that can be a problem, but overall we love ours. Batteries in the transmitter last about a year. Our temps in central Oregon range from 10 below in the winter and 100 in the summer.

We added a second receiver to put in the pool house, out back by the pool. It's very secluded, so we have trouble knowing if someone comes in the drive when we're back there. So far, this works great! Haven't had any false signals, and it is very reliable. We have the magnetic bar buried by the driveway as well as a motion detector mounted on a tree by the drive. It's probably about 75 feet out to the pool area, and I can't fault any part of this system. It all works great!
