I have a customer who wants a bell similar to the keypad ring in another part of the store. I have done a keypad follower tied to a relay and doorbell before and buzzers, but i am looking for another option. there is also a speaker that is still on the wall that could be used if i could find a driver that had a bell sound or similar.
any ideas?
Idea 101:
Get a Visonic SP-4 then record a door bell sound of your choosing into the chip.
Connect to a power supply, switch and the speaker.
Done!!
Good Luck

Depends on the panel. Napco Gemini panels with expanded bus communications have a programmable relay board available. The relays can be programmed to follow a zone if needed. Use that to trigger a chime, or anything you want.

I have done that before. I was only trying to use the speaker that was alrady in place.
I ended up using a cheap LED keypad since there were 4 wires coming from the panel to the speaker location. Overkill, but i had it and it was cheaper than i could get the Visionic board that Abel1 mentioned. Though i will keep it in mind for the future.
Too bad, you could have a lot of fun with the Visonic SP-4.
I had one in for a while that announced the following very loudly.
"HEY!!! WHAT ARE YOU DO HERE!!! UP AGAINST THE WALL PUNK, YOU'RE BUSTED!!!"
The customers wife decided that it should be toned down a bit, and she was not referring to the volume.
Glad you got it resolved.

Nice simple solution. The only other thing I could think of was an Elk low current trigger relay and an ATW chime. Costs about the same as that keypad, and not as simple to install.

Fun!
I may use one eventually.
