Power cut off on USB outlets?

Hopefully I'm posting this in the right category, just wondering how to have RAM cut off power to USB outlets when engine is off. Below the 12" screen there's 2 USB outlets I have 2 devices connected: A dashcam (VIOFO A119 V3), and a Carplay wireless dongle. I turned off the truck, stepped outside and just observed the 2 devices. I saw my entertainment and dash screen backlights both go off but I see power to the dongle and dashcam still. I've had bad experiences in the past of my other dash cam draining my GMC so I'm just hoping a similar experience doesn't happen. Thanks for any input!
