I have an RVS - 83112 wireless camera that runs on a 9V battery. I put it on my bumper and use it to see my hitch for hooking up. I want to make a connector to connect the camera to my truck.So no mo...

If current draw is constant, you could use a resistor to drop the voltage. Not ideal, but simple. You'd need to know how much current the camera draws.
I'm an amature at this stuff, no idea what camera draws, wouldn't think it is too much, it was running off a 9V battery.
What size resistor would I use, if that is a solution, so I don't fry my camera?
And can I get what I need at an auto parts store or?
Like you were told above, your vehicle may produce up to 15 volts. The camera could fry. I'd use something like this to limit the voltage: Buck convertor but it's getting a little complcated. Your 9 volt battery may do the job and last for years if you only use it for hitching up. "K.I.S.S" seems to maybe apply (Keep it simple stupid)
