Rear Power Tap Locations?

Curious if anyone has a suggestion for location to tap for a rear-mounted dash cam? Not a dual-cam set up. I've already got a front mounted camera, but have a "surplus" dash cam sitting around. Rather than buy a new dual camera setup, I figured I might just mount that one in the rear window.

Anyone have a recommendation for a spot to tap in? Switched power preferred. Camera has "battery management" but I'd rather not trust it.

Thanks in advance!

Not sure on a Explorer ST, but on my Focus ST I tapped into the rear wiper motor for power for the rear view camera. If I remember correctly it’s switched. You’d have to check with a volt meter, but I’d be surprised if the Explorer is not a similar setup.
