Need help trying to figure out what to buy

Recommended Posts

My father has a surveillance system at his property and wants to add a red flashing strobe or beacon light inside his house to warn him when people are coming. The area he wants to add a motion detector is approx 900' away from the house. There is power there and a cat6 cable there going all the way to the house that can be used to transmit a signal. I cant find anything but a red beacon light that will plug into 120vac. Is there a special power supply that will turn on by a signal for 1 minute? Thank you for any help. I am traveling up there in 2 weeks so need to order something soon.

I wouldn't be running it in 120V. There are lots of 12v strobes in different colours available for security systems , forklifts etc . Most PIRs use a form B relay contact ( normally closed) & will have to be changed to normally open with a relay. OR find a PIR with a form C contact which will have both normally open & normally closed contacts. These are usually on the better quality ones which you will need if it is going to be installed outdoors.
