Tap into ignition power source?

Where is the easiest place to tap into an ignition power source without tearing apart the dash?

I have a dash cam currently wired into the 12v plug in, but it is constant power if the vehicle is on or off. So if I forget about the camera, it will just run all night. It draws nothing for power, so I just need a source that goes off when the car is turned off too.

You can tap off the fuse box behind the glove box with a add-a-fuse. Like this...

it actually does turn off after about 15min after the ignition is off (if you open up your door, it'll power up again)

Not what I've found with my 12v outlet... my dash cam ran for 6 hours on a test to see if it would turn off
