Yes, you just plug one end of your RCA cable into the "VIDEO OUT" jack of your security camera and the other end into the "VIDEO IN" jack on your TV. There also might be an "AUDIO" cable which you attach in the same way - from the "AUDIO OUT" jack of the camera to the "AUDIO IN" jack on your TV.

These cables should be supplied with your security system. If they aren't and/or you want longer ones, you can buy them at an electronics retailer or online.

The RCA cable plugs should be COLOR CODED - YELLOW (for video), and RED (for audio), so you just match up the colors when connecting cables from TV to security camera.

In some cases there is also a WHITE plug, which is also AUDIO (RED and WHITE are audio to the RIGHT and LEFT speakers). Sometimes there's an ORANGE plug, which is "Digital Audio".

If you DON'T HAVE RCA PLUGS (which just push in), but you have "BNC Connectors" - which PUSH IN AND TWIST ON - you can buy "BNC to RCA Adapters" at your hardware store, Radio Shack, etc. They should only be a few dollars.

You should also buy an "RF Modulator" (if it doesn't come with your security camera) to plug the camera into and then connect to your TV. An RF Modulator allows you to select the channel (3 or 4) that you want to view your security camera on. This is the same thing as connecting your VCR (or DVR) to your TV and watching through channel 3 or 4.
