anyone

Just get a relay and use the reverse lights to trigger the relay. most reverse lights are positive polarity so do it like this

bosch type SPDT (single pole double throw) automotive 30 amp relay

terminal 85 to ground
terminal 86 to your reverse lights
terminal 30 to the power source you are using to power the camera
terminal 87 to the power input on your camera

when you put it in reverse the camera will turn on and it will go off when the car is not in reverse

Relay info in case you need it:
