Our property is off-grid and under construction. our barn is solar powered and I am trying to set up a security system Wi-Fi router and a Verizon hot spot. To monitor our security cams. I don’t want to leave the large inverter on all the time and would like to add a smaller one just to power the Wi-Fi and security system? which small inverter has the lowest quiescent draw?

The system is 12v but having a hard time finding security equip that runs off 12v
 
I power my Honeywell Lyric security system off a boost converter boosting from an ancient doorbell transformer. I should really figure out where that transformer is hidden in the house…

So just get a variable DC boost converter off Amazon and trim it to the voltage you need.
 
Victron and Samlex have a good range of lower input/output inverters that have low self consumption.
I am going to use one for just lighting circuits.
