"need something I can just fire up and run without too much messing around"

 

Then why use a Raspberry Pi in the first place?

You should do some research -

 

1) The Raspberry Pi is USB powered (MicroUSB to be precise).
2) There will be messing around - installing the OS etc. This is all on you.
3) An SD card is required also.

 

Nobody is going to send you a preconfigured Raspberry Pi. You'll need to set this up but it is good practice on Linux.

Yes, what do you want for it? And whereabouts are you?

Good that its USB power supply! Didnt see that, will make things easier where I need to install it

 

I dont mind installing the OS, was expecting to do that, also knew it does need an SD card

It needs to be a good USB power supply. The ones apple supply with phones have intentional voltage sag as they reach their current limit so are useless for powering pi's.

Cheers, I may be able to power it off one of the USB ports on the NVR which would be helpful as I have limited power outlets
