Backup Camera install?

[DammitRMF!]

I just picked up an ATC Panther and have it in the back of my 2019 RAM 1500 DT and I want to install a backup camera since the tailgate is off. Has anybody else done this? I figured it's a pretty popular thing to do so I thought I'd check here first. Why reinvent the wheel. Any comments, suggestions, feedback would be great, thanks!

There's two ports that come from the truck to the tailgate. See pics. Not sure which one is to the backup camera ( think it's the single port since that looks like an optical cable). If you know which one it is and where to purchase a good camera that's standalone weatherproof and or adapter cable that would be good to know. Thanks!

Thanks! I just found this and came back to post it here and saw your message (your link sends me to a "whoops" site at Rostra). Here's the link I found:

When removing the tailgate from your RAM truck, often the use of the backup camera system is lost. Keep this important functionality with a RearSight tailgate camera relocation system by Rostra!

Rostra didn't seem to have a price listed and they ask you to contact them for it.

Yikes! That's spendy.

I might search for a cheaper camera with the LVDS cable and see if that works. I'll post an update here later if I get something to work.

I think this is what I bought several years ago, still works, no complaints.
