The reason that you need to splice into the reversing lights is that you need the camera to be activated when you shift to  the reverse gear and the only thing that supplies electricity only in reverse are the reverse lights otherwise the camera would be constantly on.

I'm not much with cars but I don't get the difference between splicing and having a adapter between between lighting loom and  bulb.  Surely when the power goes to the bulb it could also turn the camra on.

Splicing is the only practical way and perfectly safe if done well. As mentioned, any 'adapting' is doing the same thing.
