A camera fault will not inhibit the vehicle from starting. The clicking is indicative of low electrical power. With or without codes, the very first pinpoint test in these matters is confirm the health of the battery. A voltage reading, while the engine is not running and 6 hours after any charging event should suffice.

Its a new battery and stop start battery is new aswell the problem starting only happens when the camera fault occurs

"new" doesn't mean anything. Are the batteries rightfully sized and were they fully charged prior to installation?
What is the voltage of the batteries?

A faulty starter motor with a bad solenoid can drain a battery in no time. May want to give that a check.
