Hard Wired Dash Cam Help - Constant Power

Right guys and girls I need your electrical help. I have just hard wired in my dash cam using the fuse box in the engine bay.

However, I cannot locate a fuse connection that is ignition powered only. I have been using the guide on the below website and every obvious choice still has power to the camera when the ignition is off.

It is currently plugged into fuse no. 12 for heated seats, but still has power and the seats do not power on when ignition is off.

Have also tried No. 9 that is for the first 12v socket.

Thoughts????????

That is my next option, but don't really want to do that if I can help it.

Thanks for the replies. Yes I have left for a few minutes to see if it switches off and removed the key etc. It's not a big deal at the moment, if I cannot figure it out I'm just going to extend the cable to the fuse box in the boot where most of the fuses are ignition activated.
