My dashcam is powered from the OVD socket. It’s a switched unit that allows recording when parked and has a cut off so that it doesn’t take excessive power from the battery.

That may be an option.Mine is a Mio with sat nav and the consumptions quite high and blew a normal dc to usb adaptor in a couple of days.Is the Halford one the normal mini usb type,I couldn't see any rating on it so it may only be suitable for the Black vue.
