Default Back up camera question

I have a Kenwood CMOS-210 back up camera. It has a video cable, a red wire (acc with 2 amp fuse) and a black wire for ground.

Do I hook up the red wire to the reverse lead (orange) in the tail light or do I hook it up to an ACC power source?

Hook it to your tail light orange wire, this way it only draws power when you reverse.

You also have to run a wire from there to your dvd so it can recieve signal and switch to rear camera video input.

I usually use an acc source because some nav radios offer the option to view the rear camera when driving.
