Question Third brake light camera

I am probably to to get yelled at for asking this but I did try to use the search first I promise.

I bought a third brake light camera cheap. I thought since I have my dash pulled down/apart to do the shift tube, have the cluster repaired, and replace the shift indicator. I might as well install the camera. I just need to wire it up. I plan to run the wires across the headliner. I just need to know what wire to tap for the trigger, I want to keep the wires in the cab if I can. Also if some one wants to be nice. Could you post a picture of where to find the wire?

Im going to guess you can run a switch to turn the camera on, or use the reverse lights as the trigger.

Im just guessing.

I figured I could do that but I don't know which wire to tap into. I read something about a pk/bk wire but I can't find any pictures
