Question 2004 suburban LS - Need to find a switched fuse to use for a Dashcam

Which fuse is switched on in the engine compartment fuse box that i can tap into for dash cam power?. I would like to tap into it to run dash cam. Cigarette lighter and other power outlet is constant on. If none in that fuse box under the hood, then any recommendation for buse box near driver side panel near the door panel?

Try the radio fuse. Don't use any of the powertrain fuses to avoid issues.

I checked Radio fuse. Some how it also has 12 V constant power. I found another 15 amp fuse. that one is for trailer light. I may use it. I am waiting for fuse tap wires. Once it arrives i will check it out and update hear.
