Default Backup camera install

Good morning, My 2012 XL single cab came without a backup camera. I purchased one in eBay. Any suggestions or ideas how to run and bring the cables from the backup camera to inside the cabin? Thanks for your help

I ran my cables along the left frame rail to a grommet in the left sill panel to inside the cab then up the left kick panel. Also my power tailgate lock.
Just to add I mounted a switch so I could power the camera and time I wanted not just reverse.
