The camera itself actually uses power from the main battery via an analog input port. The servos get it from the PWM connector via the backup battery.
I believe the camera is supposed to be hooked up to a PWM output on the RC.



Though I do believe people have powered the camera off of the +5V analog input because the backup battery does not last too long when the camera is connected to a PWM port since the PWM port is powered by the backup battery and the +5V analog input is powered by the main 12V battery.
