PIR-activated flood that bleeps?

Question

I'd like a PIR-activated security floodlight that makes some kind of noise while lit. I don;t want anything as loud as a burglar alarm siren; just something I can hear if I'm in the house or in the house next door. I don;t want to wake the neighbourhood up every time a cat comes prowling in the night.

Has anyone seen such a device for sale anywhere? 12-volt, gel cell battery- operated, solar charged, would be ideal. Faling that, a mains powered device would be my second choice.

Altenatively does anyone know of a suitable a 240v bleeper of some kind, that I could wire in parallel to the bulb in a 240v PIR-operated security floodlight.

Thanks,

Al

You could take the 240V to a bell transformer and then onto any ordinary doorbell. But that would give you continuous ringing while the light is on, instead of a bing-bong on-entry.

Guardcam from TLC "GuardCam has the option to deliver one of three messages upon activation."Warning you are tresspasing","Warning you are being captured on video"and finally a Barking dog (more effective than you may think).There's also the option to have no voice alert."

We have the genuine article and he does indeed deter many a door to door caller. On our path there is an inspection chamber lid, it isn't quite level, and makes a noise when you walk on it. It is enough to alert the dog who gives a nice deep bark or two.
