I would like to run a few cameras outside that are all powered via one cord.
Lots of them available both on-line and in retail stores. A Google search came up with over 29 million hits.

Install a USB hub like this in an area that doesn’t get wet such as under an eave and connect all the cameras up to it

Thank you.
Check your power adapter for sufficient amperage too. The one that comes with Wyze cams is 1 amp, and handles 1 camera. Start stacking multiples from a single adapter, you might experience offline cameras, requiring restarts among other things.
Someone recetly reported he had been using a long 15 foot cable and the camera would not stay online. The 15 foot cable did not come from Wyze. He found his own answer, but replacing the power adapter with higher amperage. I too had the same issue, and his solution solved mine. I didn’t stop there. I dug through my bag o’-tricks and found enough Amazon 1.8 and 2 amp adapters to swap out all. Solved problems that I didn’t even understand I had.
Someone is likely to disagree with what I say. That’s okay. It worked for me.
I would like to suggest that Wyze offer a power splitter - like the splitter for the add-on WyzeCam floodlight - to power up to TWO Wyze cams. Im sure there are many cases where 2 cams are installed at the corner of a building pointing in different directions. Running a single power cable - with appropriate power “brick” capacity and splitting at the corner of the building with say 18 inch splitter legs would make installation much easier. I haven’t found 3rd party splitters that work as well as the floodlight splitter - but it’s often too short - which then requires the use of more cables and adapters. Thx.
