That is a Power over Ethernet camera. Doesn't require a separate power source just a cat 5 cable terminated with RJ45 plugs

Do you have an appropriate POE switch ??


What are you using the camera for ?? With teh new rules not sure if you will need a PSA registered installer

BUT


If you can run in the Ethernet cable and install 2 wall plugs then all you have to do is crimp the two ends.

If you intend to play a bit with ethernet stuff then buy a cheap crimping tool €10 l and a handful of connectors

You can pick them up in B&Q \ electrical wholesaler or online. A cheap crimping tool should be around €10 to €15 and you shoudl be able to get 10 plugs for around €2

I have something similar, basically it only requires a power point, is that right? You need a licence to install security cameras, so most probably won't do it (licence is expensive I hear). Saying that, you don't need a licence to install an external power socket. After that, it's just a drill and a ladder you'd need.

No Power point required its POE

Thanks for the replies, from the video it doesnt look too bad but i am completely useless at this kind of stuff and noway i would be allowed drill holes in the house so ideally need someone who knows what there doing!

Get the external socket sorted with an electrician, and see if they'll finish the rest of it for you.
