It looks like there is only a simple coax wire that goes into the camera, and I don't see a separate wire for power.

The other line going into the camera below is water for the washer unit (its the rear camera). The only electrical connection going into the camera itself is via that coax connector. Is the camera module passive and doesn't need power? or is power delivered on the same wires it uses for the signal? This might end up being quite simple if it's just a passive analog signal.

Any idea where the camera controller module is? Tracking down the manufacturer for some technical info would seem the only hope.
