Have been trying to insert a picture (with no joy!)

Will keep trying so that you can see what I'm trying to explain

Did someone make that scart cable for you, never seen anything like that before. What is that other cable coming from it, is that for power. ?

That's how it came!
Yes the black cable is power and the short white one hasn't been connected so not required

Greatly appreciate any suggestions

Is that the only cable coming from the camera, does it not have a power supply ?

That is the only cable coming directly from the camera, the black cable is the power supply

You need an adapter with a SCART socket on it like this one to accept the plug on the camera lead, plus a phono-BNC lead.

Personally, unless it is a seriously good camera, seems a lot of hassle to connect it.

1 cable coming from camera to scart, sounds very odd. That scart won't carry power to the camera.

It is a very good camera and being able to hook it up to my dvr instead of routing more cables would make it even better!

It's quite common on some consumer grade cameras intended to connect to a TV.

The power cable goes into the SCART and connects to the power cores in the multicore cable going to the camera, but the power isn't actually connected to the SCART pins.

Thought it may have been, OP is extremely vague on answer's.

Look's like a 4 core phone cable going to the junction box then. As answer has been given a few time's allready, won't reply again.
