Most home surveillance cameras have a "feed" (wires) to TWO separate gizmos: the camera itself, and the power supply to make the camera work.
The camera VIDEO wires will be the ROUND part of the wire, or "feed". That is because it is a "shielded" cable, kind of like the TV cable to your television.
The camera POWER wires will be "the other ones".
There is NEVER an on/off switch on a surveillance camera, and for a good reason: what the heck good would it be, if you could just sneak up on it from behind and turn it off?
If your camera is not powering up, I would suspect the power supply first, the wires to the camera second, and the camera itself third.
Good luck, and I hope I have helped you a bit with this information.
