Reverse camera power

I've installed a reverse camera. Everything working nice, except that:

Normally, the camera take the power from the reverse light. But on that car, it doesn't work: it seems to have only 2.5V instead of the 12V... Not enough for the camera. I think it's because of the sensor of dead bulb of the car.

Anyone know where (how) to take the 12V power when the reverse gear is on?

I was told to try to get on positive from the bulb and negative from the chassis. But I've didn't try it already. Is it working?
An other option is using a relay...
