I looked at one that needs an application for mobile phones to run the scope. I am cautious about using a thing that needs a application for mobile phones to run due to mischief-making.

That's what I was about to say. I'd not do wireless anything by bees. I also wouldn't put them by a cell tower, or high tension power lines. They use the earth's magnetic field to navigate, and disrupting that field with electrical sources confuses them. A good metaphor might be trying to drive when the cars all have high beams and spotlights on, very hard to tell where you are going. To me, that's what electrical fields might look like to bees.
Another issue is a bad actor hacking thought the wireless connection. At my local hardware shop there is a stand alone borescope for about 150. Maybe it is better just to open the hive maybe once a week or less and save the 150 for other projects.
