Nest cam with floodlight anti-theft screw size?

[statepenn99]

I lost the anti-theft screw that connects the power cable to the nest cam.  Does anyone know the size of the screw?  I contacted support, but that couldn't tell me and said the installation screws were not available to send me.  I tried connecting without the screw since the camera is about 10 feet up, but when it rained last night some water got into the connection, so it would seem the screw has to be in place to keep the rubber flush with the camera body to keep out water.

I lost the screw too. Keeping an eye on this thread for any help.

I am also in need of a security screw.. Bueller? Bueller? Anyone?

I lost mine too. I replaced it with a thread size 1/4”-20 screw I had lying around. The one I have is 1/2” long and too long, so maybe 3/8” is the right length.

Confirmed #20 is the right diameter. Hole Depot only had the 1/2". Hoping I can find a 3/8 or 1/4.

I lost my screw in the snow 😞 

Can we order one somewhere,?

@volator

I am afraid that we do not replace screws. You will want to pick up the correct screws from your local hardware store. The threaded hole on the camera body for the security cable on the floodlight should be the same as for the 3rd party mounts when not used with a floodlight. Those are 1/4x20 I believe.

Best regards,

Brad.
