I need to plug a camera into a small area and need to use a shorter/different adapter. Is there any problem with using a USB adapter plug that is designed for cell phone/device charging? Anything special I need to consider?
The adapter that comes with Wyzecam is 1 Amp (1000 mA). The adapter you substitute should be the same or greater. I doubt you will find a cellphone adapter that’s lower power, but there are a few 500 mA ones out there.
Thanks!

I have kind of same question with specific information. I have adapter which outputs 12V, 1.5A.
Would it work with Wyze Cam v2?
If so, how many Wyze Cam v2 I can run simultaneously from the adapter?
These cams need FIVE VOLTS (5V DC)
Twelve volts would undoubtedly kill any 5-volt device very quickly.
DO NOT connect!

You need a 12V to USB converter. One example of many available here:
It should power 3 V2s. However, you might as well get a 3amp USB wall charger for about the same $.

Is there a minimum voltage rating?
Is there a maximum voltage rating?
Just like to know the limits for the voltage rating for the WYZE camera.
All I know is that the input voltage of the camera is the nominal 5VDC USB spec voltage. I am not aware of any published info that gives a tolerance for this. There is some info on USB voltage specs here. I would expect that the Wyze cams would be compliant with the USB spec.
