I've been looking for an outside WiFi camera preferably not that expensive. There are hundreds of them, and pretty cheap as well on Amazon. BUT they all seem to use a transformer to get down to 12v. I have a security light and it would be much easier to power it from there with 240V.

Can anyone recommend or even just point me towards one?

Thanks.

Most proper IP cameras run off POE. You're unlikely to find a camera with an integrated 240 PSU. Which means you'll need a camera that comes with some type of external transformer or POE injector.
(However would strongly recommend using a hard wired camera vs a WiFi if at all possible).
