Back up camera install

Hello everyone, I recently purchased a used 2017 W213. I absolutely love the car but it doesnt have a back up camera and I want one. I ask the dealer if they would install one for me but they said my car didnt have that option and I would have to get one installed aftermarket. What would be the best course of action for me to have a back up camera installed? I can physically install the camera myself. But I dont know if my head unit or my display has audio/ video inputs. I doubt my car is plug and play and I can just buy the factory camera and just plug it in. Any help is appreciated.

Yes, I thought they were standard too. Apparently not.

The camera is standard in the US due to regulations. Every marketing region/country may have very different standard equipment.
