As Mark has suggested, it really depends how you want to use it.
I have mine linked to the CarPc and it has a dedicated power supply, so mine is slightly different
I see you have three main options as follows:

I see you have three main options as follows:
- If it is going to be used ONLY for a reverse cam, then i would suggest taking power from the reverse light. There is absolutely no problem with this as the camera draws very little current.
- Secondly, you may want to power it from the ignition feed (Aux line) if you wanted to use the camera and switch to it at ANY point whilst driving.
- Third option is to have a switched line from auxillary AND have a feed off of the reverse light, so you get to choose when the camera is LIVE, and it is automatically powered when in reverse. With this option you may need a little assistance as you don't want to feed power back to the reversing light and make it illuminate.

I certainly haven't had any complaints about them. They are handy little additions if you have a DVD multimedia unit. Particulalry if you have a nice new car and reverse park in car parks with bollards etc

However, the biggest part of the project is getting the hardware in, so i'd worry about software very last thing.
Come along to one of the meets and i will show you what i have fitted
