You don't even need to use the car battery charger. The dash cam battery is so tiny, the car's battery won't even know it's there. Same for cell phones, GPS, and all that other electronic stuff. They won't draw the battery down. The car's ECM probably draws more than that, 24/7.

If you notice the engine is slow to turn over in the morning you have an indication that all is not well.

A cell phone charger or dash cam will draw down a battery, but it can take a few days. On some vehicles the power port that you are plugged into is turned off when the vehicle is off. In that case it would cause no issues leaving them plugged in.
