John, the question of applicable directives was asked and answered by CENELC TC79, Alarm Systems. They published report R079-001, "Guidelines to achieving compliance with EC directives for alarm systems" in 1996. You can obtain a copy from BSI or other sales points for CENELEC documents.
For CCTV surveillance equipment, the report indicates that the LV and EMC directives apply. They also concluded that EN60950 applies for safety, EN50081-1 (or -2) or EN55022 applies for emissions, and EN50130-4 applies for immunity. Other standards may also apply if RF links are used. FCC part 15 applies in the USA.
