Default 2012 aftermarket camera install help

Hi. I'm trying to install an after market rear camera on my 2012 A4 and connect power to rear back up light/ reverse. Actually its a Wifi camera (yea I made a mistake on this but now I have it and can't return it). So, it being a wifi camera I would prefer it to be powered all the time so I don't have to wait for the phone to connect. The wires on the camera are red (power) and black (ground). Can someone please tell me which wire I must tap into to power the camera? The rear light connector in the trunk lid has Brown, Grey, Grey-white, and Black-white. Thank you.

I figured it out by trial-and-error. Brown wire is ground, and Black-white is the reverse lights.
