Suggest that you take power from behind the tail light reverse globe so the camera only gets power when you're in reverse. Make sure you put an in-line fuse in as well.

For those of your who may be interested in doing this, the wire is still Red/Green in the 4th block down as per the pics above but is no longer the last wire in that block.
