The radio sends a 6v signal that will only turn on when the camera needs to be on. If you power the camera from that signal (or use a relay to send 12v when that 6v signal is on) then it will only be on when the car first starts and when you're in reverse.
Ahh I see, well thanks for that info. I'll look into installing a relay
