The data cabling will run thru the house along with the telephone and cable tv, in a common piping, i suppose.

So how is this implemented? Is there a switch somewhere that that will receive the single signal from the telephone, cable, and data(dsl signal) and distribute it thoughout the house? Is the switch just a splitter of signal or something more sophisticated?

Any tips or best practice for making this work with minimal problems? What type of cable/jack to use, to make it future proof a bit.

I will try to help
materials for voice, IP camera and data cabling: patch cord user side, Information outlet, faceplate, cat 5e cables, Patch panel , patch cord for cross connection, cable mangement,close cabinet, switch 10/100 (with POE for IP cam) for data and router ( if carrier provide modem/router good for you no need for router) and for voice if you need intercom ,door opener and you want to transfer your call you need PABX.
you can use cat 5e solution or cat 6 solution for gigabit connection.
How many outlet you going to install in your house?
in every phone, IPcam and data connection you have to layout individual wire using cat5e. If you going to install PABX dont use jacketed wire after short period of time you can hear noise in your line.EX. FM station

for CATV connection
staright connector, faceplate, RG6 connector, RG6 Cable,( ask your contractor for RG6 not RG58), Spliter, indoor amplifier, then Catv provider or satellite attena.
all outlet will be installed with individual wire going to termination box were catv will placed.
