Help fitting non-OEM reversing camera

Hello all you experts. This is my first real post, as am a total newbie to the Mini Cooper. (Had old ones in the 60's 70's though).
The car is a 2017 Mini Cooper Hatch, and I want to fit a reverse camera, but don't want to spend hundreds for an OEM installation. I've fitted quite a few to other cars I have had so am not totally new to the process, but am in the dark about all the electronics on modern vehicles.
My question is, can I happily use the blue/grey reversing light wire, to power my camera, or is this going to throw up lots of warnings on the dash?
Hopefully someone can advise me, and thank you in advance.
