I have three Wyze security cameras that I took from my house when I sold it. My wife and I don't need or want them in our current house. These cameras connect via a USB cable to a 120V jack that supplies 5 volts. They are 1080p and have night vision and are inexpensive. They are an older model of these;

I was thinking of trying to use these on my Grand Banks 32. My thought was to put one in the engine compartment and connect it to the WIFI network of a Garmin chartplotter. I think I could then stream the footage to either my phone or an iPad. I could also add one to the back deck area, probably just above the cabin door, that could be used for security. These cameras will notify you of movement.
My questions are, has anyone done this with Wyze and connected it to a WIFI network from a chartplotter? If I were to use one for security, I would need to have the chartplotter on all the time to provide the WIFI. Does anyone see any issues with that while it is moored?

The Wyze Cam v3 can be used as indoor or outdoor cameras. A great add-on to your home security systems. It's the #1 best-selling multi-use security camera. Need a pet cam? How about a baby monitor? Get creative!
