@TonyM - So, assuming your camera takes input of 5v, I take it you pull the camera cable's USB connector from its 12v-to-USB adapter in your car's 12v socket and simply plug this same USB connector into the Aukey 1500mAh outlet, yes?
I think it may be unnecessary to use the Aukey's 12v output to a DIY 12v cigarette lighter socket-to-USB adapter. This is because I just realised the Viofo A119 I'm considering doesn't have an attached 12v-to 5v adapter plug but instead, perhaps like yours, it has a USB connector at the end of its cable which plugs into a 12v-to-USB adapter.
The A119 requires 5v 1A input per
@viofo as here:
https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/threads/power-consumption-requirements-for-the-a119.21516/#post-282691 and has been measured at around 0.45mAh in the same thread.
The Viofo 12v-to-USB adapter has an output of 3.1mAh...
...and has two USB outputs...

So, I could keep the Aukey in the glovebox where I have a 12v socket with the Viofo twin outlet 12v-to-USB adapter plugged in. The Aukey charges from one Viofo adapter USB outlet whilst the A119 is powered from the other. Then, when I feel the need to power the A119 in 1FPS mode when parked up, I pull the camera cable's USB connector from its Viofo adapter as above, pull the Aukey's charging cable from the same adapter too (I've learned it's not a good idea to charge and output simultaneously) and push the camera cable's USB connector into the Aukey's USB output...

I note there are two 5v outputs, from the Amazon ad here:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/B014J84234 ...
One is 1A the other 2A. I wonder which I should plug into? Which do you you use Tony?
Oh... and do you charge your Aukey in the same way, from the dual output 12v-to-USB adapter which came with your camera? If not, how do you charge yours?
What I could do with now is for Viofo,
@jokiin @Mtz or
@Gibson99 to confirm what I am suggesting is a safe way of powering the A119 and that the Viofo 12v dual output connector will do the job of powering both the A119 in use AND charging the Aukey simultaneously, and that the Aukey's 1A/2A output will be OK to power the A119 when the car's 12v power socket is off.
