Back up camera power question

Hoy all, the last thing I need to do with my stereo/nav/DVD is power the camera. The power lead is back by the tail lights. I see a 3 wire plug that looks like it could be for the reverse and licence light. Does anyone know if my guess is right, and which wire to tap?

• Connect the Green/Purple wire to the
reverse wire (if applicable)

Connect the power wire of the camera to this line, and the reverse line of the headunit to this one.

This way when you put the car in reverse it will power the camera and auto switch for you.
