Depending on your alarm, R/S, or K/S; it could be programmed for a latched output, to operate the strobes directly or through a relay.

Ideal - cmon dude, add to topics in a useful manner, not stuff that is obvious.

Story - Phzzzt! Hey, what happened?! ... Isn't it obvious?

Moral - Never dismiss the obvious.

Programme the aux 1output to latched, then it will work off your remote control. The only way with a push button would be to add a latching relay, but then you'd need another push button to defeat it. Of course there's another answer its called an on-off switch.

First question, 1N4001 or anything between there and a 1N4007.

Second question, your strobe lights

The relay setup does work. It sounds to me as though Howie is sure that your alarm system is capable of a latched output. It just seems much easier to program your alarm instead of spending 30 or more minutes building the relays.
