Long story short. 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.

Why not just get one of those 'security lights' - illuminates the area when motion is detected

We are going to put a led motion light out there but he wants a red flashing light inside the house 900 ft away that will go off the same time

I'd get one of the wireless systems. If it's not easy to integrate into your present
system, I'd get a separate system, they're not all that expensive anymore. I don't know
what Radio Shack carries anymore, but the home improvement big-box stores around
me have several brands available.
Considering the cost of the cable for a 900 foot run, the price is comparable.
