My Escort and M2 Dashcam are powered through the mirror. Failing that, I would try a two into one cigarette adapter.

You should be able to find such an adapter at a truck stop or perhaps an electronics store. I found one at a truck stop and it works very well.

I found one on Amazon. It has two USB ports, one for my radar detector and the other for my dash cam. They have dozens of variations to choose from.

Since you said you want to buy these things it would be better to buy units that have USB-C cables, C can carry up to 20v and you could get an adapter like
these these
that has multiple USB-C ports. Hard wiring them would be a better solution but that's not within everyone's capability. I looked for Anker but there are other brands.

There are 12V adapters that allow multiple, but a cleaner way would be to hardwire the dashcam and radar detector.
