Thinking back to when I was looking at reversing cameras, the feed from the reversing lights was only a trigger signal source to switch on the camera, NOT a power feed, that came from elsewhere, at least on the systems I looked at!
You don't say what your vehicle is, but with modern Canbus wiring, it's a lot more difficult to find power sources for accessories! Ultimately you do need an ignition controlled source, but finding one that can provide the POWER without causing problems for the wiring/computerised management may be easier said than done!
The alternative is to just put a power on/off switch to the camera from a battery feed, and turn it off when not needed.
No help to you I know, but the hassle of finding and accessing the correct wiring is what drove me away from a hard wired camera, and to a self contained battery powered one!
