Mirror Mount Radar Detector Bracket?

Radenso XP
+ (Blendmount)
+ 2015 Ford F-150 Lariat
This will be my configuration. For those of you who have done this install or have knowledge on how to do it, I plan to power my Radenso XP with a MirrorTap (a power cable that plugs into your radar detector and powers it from your rear view mirror) as this appears to the best route to minimize power cords and wires.
That said, I have a 360-degree camera system ... mounted between the windshield and interior rear view mirror (see above ... last interior picture). The rear view mirror does have power (auto-dimming), but I don't see anywhere to plug into it? Am I just missing it? Or do you believe the power is coming from the camera that is encased? If so, is it easy to remove the casing around the camera and reinstall it without breaking? What is typically holding it together (i.e., clamp)?
This installation seems "easy," but only if I can get to the power source to plug into.
Or due to the age of my vehicle (I don't want to screw anything up), is this install better left to the professionals? If so, who would you recommend from an installer standpoint in the greater Baton Rouge area?

I just ran a wire from my fuse box. Used the simple and cheap Add a Fuse.
