I'm about to add a security camera to the back of the house which will

any kind of trunking/conduit/whatever that I can fix to the (brick) wall

long and accept internal and external corners.

Er, conduit? Screwfix, Toolstation, etc. For that sort of length, it
will be neater to use the "proper" stuff.

I agree, especially if you are running the cables over any sort of
rough pebble-dashed surface.

As has been mentioned elsewhere, really only works if you are willing
/ able to re run any existing cables though the new conduit.

A mate has a mix of CCTV / lighting on the front of his house, some
clipped directly to the walls and some run in conduit and the conduit
makes the exposed cables look tacky and vulnerable.

There are some fairly new flats nearby where the (distributed) TV
cables are run round the outside of the buildings, just in a bundle
clipped to the outside wall. Did they not know they would need a
communal aerial feed when they built the places?

Personally, I would be running any such cables internally, especially
on the front, though the loft and down though risers ... (but then I
generally decide what goes here and she doesn't care about that sort
of thing g). Round the back if it wasn't possible to keep internal,
I'd go conduit.
