You'll need a multimeter (or test light, but I don't recommend them) to test for the Positive (or what you term as "hot wire"). Remove one of your light assemblies. ground you meter by attaching it to some raw metal. Now have someone put the vehicle in reverse and probe the wires at the backup light for 12Volts. You can do it by yourself if you chock the wheels and which the key ro run without stating the vehicle for safety. Connecting a reverse camera this way powers the camera only when the vehicle is put into reverse. If you want to have the ability to view the cameras image at any time you will need to run a fused constant positive power lead from the battery, fusebox or the radio to the camera. HTH
