Default Rear Window camera

Since I found myself in possession of a spare NextBase dashcam, I thought I'd fit it to the rear window of my XC90.
I bought a hard-wire kit to attach the power cable to a fuse, but it seems all of the fuses in the rear quarter are ON all of the time.
I would prefer the camera to operate only when the engine is running, as the front one does since it's plugged into the lighter socket.

Have I missed something? Is there supposed to be fuse I can attach it to in the rear?

If not, my alternate idea was to crimp the power cable to one the rear driving lights, which only light up when the engine is running.

Clearly I am no auto electrician, so would anyone with such knowledge tell me if this would not be advised please?
