OC & Modding Generic LED strip query

In my cabinet I'm using 4 RGB led strips connected in sequence with a RF controller and a remote.
Have bought them 5 yrs ago from an FB gaming group based in Kolkata.
These strips have 3 wires. Though they resemble SMD 5050 but yet I'm unsure.

I now plan to remove them from my setup and wish to put these stripes to other homely use such as in puja ghar, underneath table, decorating frames etc.

For each strip I will require a separate AC-DC type controller.

To get an idea I visited few local shops but as always they were useless as they said controller they have requires 4 wires and my stripes having 3 so its unsure how to fit them nor there is such controller. One of them said two different controllers are required etc.

Thus, need your help to figure out how to put these to homely use individually. I can do without its remote and RF controller as anyways they will be emitting random RGB colors and patterns on their own hopefully without each of them requiring a separate RF type controller like below.

Those look like a GS1903 based strip, you'll need a controller for each independent strip. The controller is going to be tricky, most WS2811 controllers offer 5v for each individual chip, but this looks like three LED's are controlled by a single GS1903 chip which needs 12v. Strips like these are from a time when WS2811 chips were new and pricey, so these were developed as a cost effective option.

Basically these are addressable 12v strips which are uncommon. Normally, you'd see 5v addressable/digital rgb and 12v analog/regular rgb. It may with work with a 5v controller with 12v being supplied separately.
