I had the same problem. At first I thought about drilling a hole through my exterior wall and then running a long USB cable to an inside outlet. After realizing that this was all kinds of stupid, I looked into solutions like building my own 110AC to 5V DC USB converters using boards like this (https://www.ebay.com/itm/AC-DC-to-DC-Buck-Converter-Step-Down-Module-LM2596-Power-Supply-Output-DC1-5-27V-/321657019357?_mwBanner=1&_rdt=1) and tapping into the cables going to my exterior lights. Then I realized that with my amateur electrician skills, that would probably be a fire hazard. I ended up finding this light socket USB adapter for $50: https://smile.amazon.com/Toucan-Smart-Socket-Additional-Weatherproof/dp/B06ZYGPKJS/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1540343219&sr=8-5&keywords=Kuna+toucan

That's an extra smart socket for a webcam solution from Kuna called Toucan. And if you just need use it for the USB power, it would work but you'd need to leave your light on all the time. That's pretty suboptimal.

But, after researching the Toucan, I ended up buying the full system from Kuna for $130, and I couldn't be happier. I love their system and the alerts are super fast.

I hate to promote another company's products on Wyze's subreddit, but it really was the best solution for me. I have six other Wyze cameras that I love and promote to anyone who will listen; however, for my front door, the Kuna Toucan gets my recommendation.
