Perhaps not what you're looking for but if you're primarily just trying to avoid electrical wiring, consider a light socket to plug adaptor. It won't work with all light fixtures but may work for you.

You can then just plug a camera in.
I got a garage storage unit. It has two light sockets for light bulbs. I got an adapter that plugs into the light socket, and ran a power strip from one socket. Runs a few work lights just fine. Enter unit, close garage door, turn on work lights, jack up vehicle with hydraulic floor jack, put in stands, and get to work. Clean up after and you're good to go.
It can be done.
Looks like it's basically this product.
I had the same issue and no confidence in wiring an outlet so I just plugged this in to my light socket. Since they are plugged into the light socket they come on when I flip the light switch. https://www.amazon.com/GE-Adapter-Polarized-Workshop-54178/dp/B000TU1W9Y?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_2
