Default Rear dash cam power source.

So I decided to get a rear dash cam, but can't find power source. The closest one is back passenger dome light, but it's constantly ON. I need it to be OFF when car is OFF like front 12V cigarette lighter. Any ideas..?
Appreciate the help.

To be honest I think if you're not running the ML system try looking into the +12v wiring for the power on that.

Thinking a line will need to be ran to the camera for that unfortunately. Nothing back there I can think of, unless something from the trunk might work.
