Hello,
I am new and this is my first post and I'm not sure where exactly to post this or what information is needed to arrive at a solution but I will simply begin and learn from there.
I have a 12VDC speaker that acts as an alarm and PA system. It is basically just a 35W speaker with a microphone attached that has buttons on it that can be pressed to select the one of the five alarm sounds. It is to hook up, supposedly, to the 12VDC car battery. It has two wires that are to go to the 12VDC power supply - bare at the ends without any plug or anything along with a four wire cord that runs from the speaker to the microphone and five different siren sounds selector that is also a part of the microphone. I wanted to use this by mounting it to my front door so when someone comes to my door I can hear them through the Harbor Freight color security camera that has a built in microphone that I have mounted by the front door that I have run through my TV and then I want to hook up this speaker with microphone and siren to the door to talk back to the person/stranger that comes up on the porch and also have the ability to trigger the siren to scare off those that are up to no good. How do I set this up to plug into my 110 VAC household current and what type of electrical wires to I need to take the current 12 VDC stranded wires and hook up some type of adapter to go to the the 110VAC household current? Also what type of wire, four wire bundles, should I look to purchase to lengthen the cord that goes from the speaker/siren to the hand set microphone/siren sound selector? I want to use this in my bedroom and have the speaker mounted on the door that is about 50' from my bedroom. How do I go about setting this all up to have a working PA/alarm that plugs into my 110VAC household current?
Thank you for any help.
Patricia
