2 dash cams from one socket

[Smuler]

Have a short term solution planned, before I go all the way and get a full 2 channel camera install.

I may use a cheaper generic hardwire kit, but for ease let's assume I'm using something familiar to many such as power magic pro. I believe the principle is the same.

I'll get the PM Pro hardwired to my fuse box, so I can have power to my dash cam when ignition is off.

I know I can plug one dash cam into the PM pro, but would it be able to power 2 dash cams, if I were to plug into it an adaptor i.e. with two 'female,' sockets and then into each of the 'female' sockets I would plug one dash cam.

This way I can replicate my ultimate aim of a 2 channel camera, by having one camera on front of car and one on back.

Hope this makes sense. I'm changing car in a few months, so don't want to go for more permanent install at this stage.

Any input much appreciated and if I go with it, as I did before I will feed back for the benefit of others.

THANKS

Not knowing what your cameras draw is nor being an electrical engineer.. my gut says it should be able to handle the load

I've got four cameras connected through a single PMP. Works like a charm!
