I am looking to buy a home monitoring system and I found some but they mentioned hooking up the cable to any video input so what are my options ? I am looking to do this myself so I dont want to hire a company or an electrician to install these for me .

Answer
Any source of video is "video output".
Any video monitor or video recorder can have a "video input".
The security camera will provide video out. In order for you to see that video, the camcorder needs to be connected to a video input. This could be a monitor or Digital Video Recorder (DVR).
If the camera's video output is connected to the DVR's video input, then the DVR's video output must be connected to the monitor's video input.
When you look at the connectors, they should be marked.
This is not much different than any other video you may already have. The cable box, satellite dish, DVD player or VHS tape deck is the video source and has a video output that connects to the television's video input...
The link you gave us if for a small, low-end, night vision camera. The cable attached to the camera will have three plugs.
One for power. An AC adapter is included with the camera.
One for audio. This will be a RCA, male, jack - it could be black, red or white - color does not matter but it will NOT be yellow.
One for video. This will be a yellow, male, RCA jack.
We don't know which TV you are using so we do not know if it has any available audio or video inputs.
If you want to record the video (and audio), you would plug the camera's AV-outputs into a recorder's AV-inputs, then connect the recorder's AV-outputs to a TV's AV-inputs...

You should not pay any monthly fee for your CCTV system just store your images on site.
95% of cameras and DVR will not allow you to view them with the I phone or other smart phones.
And even then you need permission and password.
One of the few manufactures that allow you to do this is Ascendent Technology Group.
