I don't know what camera you a running so hard to say . However, I have seen 2 different messages for battery warnings on BMW's 1 is the dreaded "Low Battery Discharge" warning which I used to get on my E71 and, 2 this one you have. I have not seen the former on the F86 yet, but my guess is the voltage monitoring system is seeing a parasitic drain on the battery when the car is off and it's saying "this is not normal, something is drawing power when car is off" and it is giving you this message as a precaution to check that something is wrong. Just a guess, but it may continue to be persistent as long as the camera is connected to the fusebox drawing power when the car is shut off. You can try a different fuse and see if that fixes the issue, just live with it, or go battery pack route.
