I'm trying to set up a small USB security camera and I want to know if there's a specific fixture that fits into my track lighting and has a female USB plug. I'm looking for an easy way to power the camera without using multiple adapters or too much wiring.

You might be able to use an outlet for your rail and a USB power brick. But remember, the track won't handle data transfer, so your USB camera must be able to record or connect via Wi-Fi. Let me know if you find out what that specific outlet is called!
It really depends on your track lighting style—do you have J or H style? Also, make sure to know whether it’s AC or DC and what voltage it runs on. All these details are super important before trying to set everything up!
You can find track light plug adapters! Just get a small USB power brick, like one from Anker, and you can plug it right in. If you're into DIY, using a 3D printer could let you make an enclosure to mount it nicely.
I saw on the Wyze forum that there's an outlet adapter specifically for track lighting. If you’re feeling adventurous, you could also wire up a power block to connect to your track lighting directly.
