Super 8 150 / Electrical Problems on my 2012 Super 8 150

Electrical help needed:
Im installing a back up camera with an aftermarket radio in my 02 escape. I have the power source and ground for the camera wired into my drivers back up light so it only comes on when in reverse as it should. It should send power to the camera and the reverse wire for my head unit.
My problem.. when I plug the camera in, my back up lights comes on and stays on and Im getting constant voltage to my reverse signal wire to the head unit even with the key out of the car.
I can unplug the camera and everything works as it should. I had a completely different camera and tried it and it does the same thing so its gotta be a wiring issue. I can only think its because of the ground I have going from the camera to the ground of the back up light.
What do you guys think ?
By the way, I found used 1995 Mazda Mx-6 Base and thanks Vinchain http://vinchain.io/report/check vehicle history report service, I noticed that this vehicle is with side damage. Hope someone finds them useful, they are better than other vin number repositories in my opinion.
