I believe that EN 60065 would be a more realistic standard.  In dealing with
both the 60950 & 60065 standards in the CCTV industry and in speaking with
several agencies it was determined that IEC 60065 based standards were a
more realistic approach. 

Mr. Woodgate, 
Could you please be kind enough to direct me to any CENELEC product
committee decision documentation on this subject.  This sounds very
interesting. 

Thank you,

Even though the LVD doesn't apply, if you apply EN 60950 that would be a
demonstration of due diligence as far as the GPSD is concerned.

EN 60950 applies since it's a *security* camera, and the relevant
CENELEC product committee chose that standard. But a camera for other
purposes in a household context should meet EN 60065.
