Thinking about putting a battery-powered Blink outdoor camera in my engine room, for monitoring things when I'm not around. This is a gas-powered boat, and the conventional wisdom says to avoid adding non-marine electronics to such a space because of the risk of detonation.
That rule was already bent by one of the previous owners, who put in a wall outlet to power a storage heater. But I digress.
This camera is weatherproof, and I tend to think that makes it spark-resistant to a certain degree. Although there's still a not-zero chance it could short out, melt, and catch fire. But that's probably true of everything on the boat. What do you think?
