I think that I've found a simpler solution to my problem in this thread using a single pole dual throw switch:

I've sketched up the schematic below.

Avoids the need for relays and issues with coil surge.
Using the switch while the camera is on will cause a momentary loss of power to the Batt terminal of the camera and cause it to restart (can a capacitor be used?)
Adding ON/OFF switch to battery cable
I want to install a switch to my HK3 for the Viofo 129 Plus camera so I can turn off the camera parking mode in my garage instead of removing the power cable, I was wondering if I cut the red wire (battery) and connect the 2 wires to a 2-prong switch like shown in the picture, would that work...
