I am thinking of installing a rear facing view dash cam on back window and running cable to power outlet in center console. That outlet is already being used with the front facing dash cam. Can I use a double plug adapter into that outlet and plug both cameras to it or it will it blow fuse/damage power outlet?

It depends on how many amps the fuse for that outlet is and how many amps your devices pull.

Info on the fuse should be in your owner's manual.

Ok, thanks for info. Power outlet puts out 10amps, will check the amps for each of the dash cams.

It looks like I will be ok with 2 plug adapter. One dash cam puts out <1 amp and the other one puts out 1 amp.

I have used a double adaptor since day one. Great advise on calculation of amp load and from what I see, most small items like a radar detector and camera come in under the 10 amp load.
