Under the hood fuse tap

[Donstar]

I am installing a front vision wireless camera in the front  bumper area of my truck.  I haven't confirmed the specific location but may temporarily install as a licence plate mounted camera.  The camera will double as a parking assist and be set for "dash cam" duties.  I am hoping to use a micro2 fuse tap in the engine bay fuse box for power.  Can anyone recommend a specific fuse I should tap?

Yesterday I discovered why there wasn't a response to my question above!  I neatly routed a wire to the fuse box only to discover there was no easy way to run a new cable into the "under the hood" fuse box.  Luckily, I had an ample amount of sheathed cable attached to my camera and continued to run the cable to an entry point under the floor.( Rubber grommet in front of the driver's seat by the door sill).  That took care of yesterday!  I will now be able to easily tap into the left-side dash fuse panel.

What spot did you tap into on the drivers side fuse panel? I have a dash cam that I got and gonna hardwire to that panel. Just curious to the slot used.

I used a fuse tap in the location recommended by Phil in this video.  I also used the ground location he suggested.
