You can get pre terminated plug & play equipment, might pay a little more for it but if you've no experience then maybe better to start off with.

I fitted one recently which had 2 cameras and a PVR with a huge disc. The supplier offered preterminated cables or "kits" - I persuaded the client to agree to the preterminated and they agreed - the premium was small.

Beware that what the instructions didn't say, was that by each camera you need to mount an IP box to enclose the connection!

Just bought a Swann kit from Makro, the same as this one in SWANN SECURITY|SWDVK-412004-UK|SWANN SECURITY DVR H264 500GB | CPC for £199+VAT, all cabled up, 18m of cable per camera, 9m range in dark but better if you have addition security lighting. Just used a stand alone pc monitor to plug into the DVR to set up and display each picture. Just to plug everything in and set up on the bench to test it took about 5 minutes, another 10-15 minutes to get used to the software and it has it's own mouse to tinker about with things. Picture quality probably isn't the best but there are better cameras available with better resolution and night vision range. There's nothing to terminate just fixing the camera brackets and cables to wall/trunking/cladding or whatever.

Probably ideal for a typical domestic installation but if you're looking at a bigger industrial set up then look at the higher spec systems but there are plenty out there that are pre-wired in kit form.

They seem a bit on the pricey side, I tend to use CCTV Direct, Dynamic, Falcon Electrical Leeds, when I'm asked to do CCTV. The trouble is now, there's too many jumped on the wagon wth CCTV like thet did with intruder alarms. And when Makro and the like start selling it, its allmost over for the smaller installs. The amount of time I used to get calls to install a CCTV or intruder system that somebody had bought from B&Q were unbeleivable.
