Maybe the motor controller might do it?
Is the camera operating off the same power supply as the TEC?

What if you had two power supplies, one clean constant one for the camera, and one not-so-clean variable one for the TEC?

12v -> 5v at 5A, with a linear regular, will be throwing out 35W of heat, which is a tricky figure to deal with.
