Adapter powering 2 devices

Hello!

Quick question regarding using a 12 volt adapter/splitter to power 2 devices. I bought a dash cam and have a radar detector (Escort Redline) that is currently using the glove box power outlet. The outlet located in the center console is powering the GPS. IIRC, the outlets provide 12v.

Essentially, I'm going for the "stealth" install of both dashcam and RD. Am I able to use the adapter to power both devices without causing any fuses to blow? Listed below are adapter/splitter, smartcord, and cam. It appears the dashcam uses 5v and the RD uses 12v cord - but the spec sheet doesn't list how much it actually uses.
